Kill it? No, but it will handily defeat it. Multiple quad lengths, as long as the riders are of similar skill. Back when my Warrior was stock I could take stock Blasters day in and day out, off the line, and for the whole race; and I am sure the Rap350 is the same way.

My buddy has a 2003 Blaster with Toomey B1 pipe, filter, jet kit, 20" rear tires, larger front gear and a Vito's reed spacer. My other buddy has a bone stock Warrior and the Warrior wins every time on top end. It's a close race on bottom end, but the Warrior eventially pulls away. The Raptor 350's have the same engine as the Warrior with a few minor upgrades, so the Raptor may be 2-3 mph faster than a Warrior.

I would go with a blaster. The warrior is the same exact quad as a Raptor 350 and my stock 98 blaster took by buddies 01 Warrior off the line and in the long run. I would personally go with the blaster. Being a 2 stroke they have a good bit of snap and if the engine ever blows up they can be simple to rebuild and pretty cheap 2.

Sounds like your buddy was a novice with the clutch then. Stock for stock with riders of similar skill the Warrior will win every time, by a few quad lengths.

Yeah my buddy had to do a lot of mods to his Blaster just to keep up with the stock Warrior in our group. He just installed a degree key and along with the other mods mentioned above he is now neck and neck with the Warrior and they both can ride good and weigh about the same.
