a cdi box gives you 1-3 more horsepower

dont buy a procom cdi they are cheap for a reason. it will trash your one way gear. Really to be honest there isnt anything cheap for the predator becasue they were ran long enough or with enough people running them to get the aftermarket world loaded with parts that dropped the prices.

if your getting a cdi get a dyna FS programable about 350 bucks and a waste of money if your not going to have it programmed for your build.

as far as decals goto a local decal guy and have something custom done or just look on line for sticker kits and do it up like a race look depending on what you want.

as for performance best bang for the buck is a big bore kit 558 or a 560 kit. you can either send your stuff out to HPD inc and have them do the 558 for i think around 500 bucks and it comes back ready to bolt together or you can order all the parts and have your machinist do the work. There arent alot of machinists out there that i would let do the big bore on the predator as they actually have to cut the entire stock sleeve out and into the water jacket then put the new sleeve back in.

I wouldnt waste money on cams or head work the fuji motor already flows to good for the stock 500 setup and is almost perfect for the 558 and 560 setups. Head work will just waste your money and lose you power. Hot cams are junk in this motor and lose you top end power and hp.

hope this info helps you out. If you have any questions post up and ill get you any info i can give. Im building my second predator right now. If i end up opening this motor up it will be staying stock bore with a falicon stroker rod but that isnt cheap but i would like to try a stock bore stroked fuji motor over my race built 558 that i did last winter.

and just so you know few states on my motors . both have stock heads, cams , carbs and cdi's.
