Just wondering if this sounds like a good deal i live in michigan and was wondering if having our local powersports place (holiday powersports) is worth it or should i have it sent somewhere if so were and any price estimations. Or is it really no difference what kind of power should i expect with having this done. thanx

 

How familiar are you with the quality of work this shop produces? If the shop has a good reputation and has some experience with porting on your particular model i'd let the local place do it, but if they don't have much experience i'd find somewhere else to do it, an inexperienced person can actually cause a power loss if they don't know where to take away metal and where to let it alone. I got my local powersports shop to do mine, but beforehand I knew that they were experienced with porting heads for my model.

 

have someone you can trust it will total change the power either good or bad dependse on the person porting it

 

I sent my 660 head to a normal, non-Raptor specialist. Spent a couple hundred $$. It didn't do much. It was a very quaint port job. They couldn't help much with tuning afterwards. I know other guys that sent their raptors to local shops. Never good.

I sent the head to Bob Craycraft the second go around, spent a tish more. It was a huge difference. They match ported my intake boots as well. They know the Raptor tricks. The tuning support you get afterwards is priceless. It was like bolting a rocket motor to the thing. Jet size changed from 170/175 to 195/200. That should sum it up right there.

No mess around with local shops. Send your parts to Bob.

 

Master raptor how much does it cost and what to i do just take off my head and ship it to him and do you think that i will be able to beat my friends 450 r 06 all stock and i have pipe intake jets and hopfully the port/polish.

 

you should be little faster than your friend's 450r already, even a stock raptor can outrun a 450r when the riders are equally skilled

 

thats were i come in . I will port the intake plus match the exhaust . And when all said and done i will stand behind my work and help tune . Single or duel carbs. take it or leave it
I,m a former hd tech plus milford grad. been racing for almost 20 years,porting my own costum for about 10

 

Take your head off. Send it and your intake boots to Bob.
He will charge about $300 to port your head. There is a good chance that your intake valves are worn. A 3 angle valve job is about $85 + any valves you need replaced. You should call or email Bob for exact pricing. Search for Craycraft Racing in Google.

You will smoke the YFZ. This is why I sent my parts to Bob...My buddy was smoking me with his YFZ...until I met Bob. Now I half hill em. But, I have a cam and piston too.

 

hmm.. Im not trying to step on any toes or anything but that is totally false.

 

He was probably thinking of the Raptor 700.
