I had my stock predator...geared up 1 tooth on rear, so lower top-end speed. Ran with a cannondale with hmf exhaust and the moto mapping...he was setup for mx. I would hang right with him, even in the open stretches...so I'm sure stock for stock you would have no problem.

yes, but once I got a slip on, I went back to the 14 on front, and went to a 38 in the rear...a pipe makes huge power down low and makes up for the gearing change, so you don't loose much top-end, but keep the low grunt! Get a slip-on, you won't regret it!!

stock for stock im almost positive a pred would take it, lot of it is the riders skill, but bike for bike power the pred has it.

Stock for stock our race results showed the03 predator is almost as fast as the 02speed map and when piped the predator is virtuallty identical as the stock speed map. My guess would be a stock pred would be the same or faster as a cannibal map due to its low rev limit(10,500) Both riders are 230Ibs plus. I believe both quads are so close that if one was tuned better than the other the results could go either way. I dont know how much faster a moto or blaze would be because they are higher horsepower maps with much more open stock exhausts.

only encountered one other Dale and beat it pretty good, I personally think the Dale is one sweet Azz Quad and I would love to own Both!!!!! There not real big around here the only other one I have seen race kept breaking down[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img].......Im not sure who is faster stock for stock, its hard to compare rider for rider in a drag who is faster ........UIts more of a rider issue than Machine.Whats the top speed for the Dale ....Anyone????
