OK,
there are a few things that i have done to my raptor and really 2 me i dont see that much of a change from now to when i bought it. There is a little gain in everything but not much, i drag race a lot with mostly the locals and few tournys. But i raced last weekend with a few and everyones got them 450's. Well one of them i raced n particular has some kinda air filter, its not k@n though, a pipe and header, and jetted. Well he blew my doors off. maybe 2 lenths. and we're racing about 250 feet. Well I've got DMC dual pipes and headers, k@n air filter, moflow air box lid, tfi controller, port and polished, stage 2 web cam, high compression piston, steel valves, a trinity clutch system and a +1 tooth on front sprocket. What is goin on here. Could it be my settings on the tfi. Back when i was stock i could pull out n front of some 450 if i got a good start, but mostly they would win. Then when i got everything but the motor work i done really good. Its like the motor work never helped me none. What could it be.

So for you people who are filled with fear that I might someday be released: breathe easy, I don't see it happening.

Somethings definitely wrong, you should have walked all over him unless all you did was spin off the line.

I would say that he probably had a hidden bottle and probably a fuel injected quad. I don't think that a 450 would beat you in that distance by two lengths. For sure not with the mods that you have on yours. Try a bottle your self, if it's allowed.

i dont think its a problem with the ammount of mods i think they just arnt working right. with as much stuff you have done you should upgrade to the pc3

oh btw have you looked at the web cam at all. i know alot of them are having problems. alot of ppl are pissed a webcams. check out raptorforum.com on the subject

In my opinion you should have beaten a 450 with no power adders, but you can spend thousands of dollars on popular bolt-ons and if the bike aint tuned for the combonation you put together they wont be worth the money spent. And, this isn't aimed at you chris, all the add ons dont make the rider any better.
