wondering how you moded raptor guys have done against piped and filtered 450's, or what does it take to make a raptor run with the 450 (hill races mainly )

Well were gonna have to wait till some of the big bore rappy guys start to chime in to find out what it takes to hang with a piped 450. Ive seen a sparks piped 450 run and it was crazy fast, beat 90% of the quads it raced.

Ive run against a piped, no lid, cam mod or so he said YFZ a few weeks back. On a long hill off the beach at Sand Lake I beat him quite easily by several bike lengths but I'm certainly not stock. I run 12:1 with HC stage 2 and FCRs. Still trying to dial in the bottom end on the fcrs now as I bog off the bottom.

That was the biggest bummer of my weekend bro. I (@ 210lbs w/ gear) was running several lengths ahead of the fastest YFZ I saw. That was on the shortest part of the hill and I was pulling away in 4th.

Does anyone know who the guy on the fast white YFZ (I saw him on Sunday the 2nd) wearing a backpack/camelback was/is?
