DS450X setup suggestions?

Hey Guys I'm a little new to the DS and we're doing a project build over at ATVondemand.com. I'm gonna race the 450Xmx bike in a winter indoor series and was just curious what set ups you guys have found to work the best.

Here is a list of what we plan to do or have already done.
1.) Motoworks Pipe (done)
2.) Pink Wire mod (done)
3.) Race Tech Revalve/spring (not done)
4.) Precision Dampner (not done)
5.) Power Commander (not done)

Any other suggestions would be great! Also Fox Shox told us that they don't have an application for the stock DSMX a-arms? As Fox was our first choice on shocks.

This is the black MX edition so the axle is adjusted out to 49 inches already and the front end is like 48 or so. We'll have to check into a new intake system. Any suggestions on a pro flow type design that seems to be working good for you DS guys?

cool we'll check into it! Anyone know if there is any truth to the factory teams cutting down the subframes? I hear you can shave them down and get a lower ride height.
