The best bang for your buck will be in suspension and tires. Horsepower is nothing if you can't put the power to the ground.
The Blaster shocks are basically a non-rebuildable, throw away design, so your going to have to pony up for some Elka's, Ohlin's, KYB's, etc. Be warned though, you'll have more in the shocks than the ATV is worth on the open market. But the difference in the way it handles and tracks will be unbelievable.
Tires, well... you'll need to find out what's working in your area for the type of racing you intend to do. Once again though, when you have a good set of tires on it, the difference in the way it handles and responds to rider input will amaze you.
Good luck.

I have built 2 Blasters for the WORCS race series. The bikes costed $12,000 a piece. To make a blaster competitive it takes a lot of cold hard cash. However if you are serious you NEED wider a-arms, a swingarm extension, and after market shocks. To build your engine for cheap to make the most power posible install boysen daul stage reeds, an FMF pipe and three extra base gaskets for a port timing adjustment. Good luck, and if your a good enough rider the bike only maters 20% the other 80% is the rider!

One other thing you should consider, is to disconnect the oil pump and use pre-mix gas. Blaster oil pumps are inadequate for racing. They don't meter the oil properly (bad for the cylinder, piston & rings). Using pre-mix will always give the correct lubrication at all speeds. Also, by using pre-mix, you can adjust the fuel/oil ratio.
To disconect the oil pump -
--Drain the oil tank.
--Drain the gas tank.
--Fill the gas tank with pre-mix. Start out with a 32:1 ratio. Check the spark plug after each tank of gas. If it looks to black (to much oil isn't getting burned), then lean it out (less oil) a little each tank of gas. I wouldn't go leaner than 40:1.
--Ride the quad for a while to fully drain the oil tank and oil lines.
--Remove the oil line that goes from the oil pump to the carb.
--Where the oil line went into the carb, block that fitting on the carb (you don't want any air getting in). You can use a little piece of the oil line and melt one end close with a lighter.
