Do the math and find if it is realistic.

Yes, that is very high for a warrior. In stock trim, they are about 55-58 or so. You will not get that kind of improvement with the mods listed.

engine mods dont make you go faster they just get you there quicker if u had some sprocket changes then 78 could be realistic but with just what u got i doubt it

stock warrior tops out around 61-62

78mph is way high, even with your mods, 387. You'd need to hit about 8k rpm with 15/40 gearing and 22" tires to pull off 78mph on the Warrior. That takes some real ballz in your engine build ...

how much speed do you get from just increasing tiresize.. im talking top end?? i got 2 inch bigger paddles then i used to have and it seems faster.. also what gearing would make my raptor go faster in the top of second?? i do hill climbs and i cant quit pull third but i can top out in second and i woudlnt mind toppping out a bit faster. thanks

You could top your raptor out in second much quicker if you dropped your front sprocket to 12 or 11T, but you would actually be going slower than with the stock gearing. Tho, you would then be able to shift into 3rd without bogging as much, if at all

It will only reach that speed and actually go faster, if it’s falling of a cliff. someone please correct me if I’m wrong? ...lol [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
