Default raptor vs. predator

i have a 03 raptor with k/n filter, fmf silencer, and jet kit. Out of the hole i blow the predator away but when he hits 4th gear hes gone. Will a header pipe make that much difference and whut else can i do to get by him??

Yah, no way in the world he should be able to beat you at all. LESS Power and MORE Weight. Something is not right, or someone is lying to you.

If you're beating predators, then you're racing crappy riders or have major mods to the Rappy. A stock pred has more power and beats even YFZs in drags... I ride with rappys and preds all the time on my Z (hotcams, 42mm CV carb, gutted stock pipe). I hang with jetted/piped raptors no sweat (pretty much dead even all the way to the top end), but the pred pulls away from beginning to end... Even beats a hopped up shee we ride with.

Yes it is heavy and rides like a jackhammer, but it's faster than snot.

Um I'm going to have to call major BS on your demon predator that is stock from the factory floor, both of your demon predators for that matter.

Are you still running with the airbox lid on?
