You can go with a nice set of used Works Brand shocks on the front and a 400ex shock on the rear. You may get lucky and find a rear used works shock or get REAL lucky and find a good deal on Elka brand shocks used.
Yea probably a stock 400ex shock for the rear one like this: 1999 99 Honda TRX400 400EX TRX 400 EX TRX400EX Rear Shock Suspension | eBay
And if you don't want to spend that much banshee front shocks work pretty good for the front but are a minor improvement

Didn't mean to sound rude in this post bro. Just saying you are going to get a lot of different answers and this question gets asked very often. I would search "better shocks" or "upgrade shocks" and form your own opinion. You will be reading for days!
Choose wisely, the YFZ450 shocks are somewhat longer than Blaster shocks and may require the fitting of a lowering kit.
i just recently put a 400 rear in my blaster and took it to the trails this past sat. and it was amazing until a friend of mine blew my piston hahahaha but the 400 ex rear shock is prob the best upgrade on a blaster
