Default raptor 350 74.3 mph, no way!

Look below to see what mods i have done so far. I put on a trail tech endurance computer and ripped it on some cement and reached 74.3 mph. The cable is hooked up to the right front wheel. I dont think theres anyway i could go that fast with the few mods i have done so far. what do you think?

I totally agree... you only have a couple performance mods, none of which will increase your top speed that much. Maybe your speedo. is off? I don't know. How old are you? I'm 14 and finally got 6000 to spend on a Wolfy 450, not bad if you ask me.

It is a cable attached to a magnet, then a magnet on the rim or something and that tracks how fast it moves. As far as i know me and my dad installed it correctly. Nice score on the wolverine. 12

smell that?? smells like bullsh!t... you prolly have smaller than stock tires, magnets in wrong places, or the computer isn't calibrated right... you have a 12tooth front sprocket.. the most u should see even with your mods is 60 with a tailwind gonig downhill

I know i smell BULLSH!T too. My tires are stock size, the computer is calibrated right i'm pretty sure. My best guess is that it's mounted wrong. I DONT KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, i think its probably mounted wrong or something. lets not all resort to the blame game here. lol its not like hes lying about the top speed. he asked a question about if anyone thought it was off too. and by the way kyle, i think you've got it made with that rappy of yours, for a 12 yr old anyways. i wish i had a rappy when i was 12, or 13, or now lol.

cant answer your question but I like to aask you one. I picked up an o4 350 ltd for my son. I just bought the same pipe and air box kit you have. how do you like the performance so far? if you dont mind my asking the dyno jet kit you put in what jets did you use and how does your 12 tooth gear work for you. thanks in advance for your help

sudsy, I love the power and throttle response the pipe and filter gave me. The only thing is that it is FREAKIN loud, no joke If you have any neighbors or live in a highly populated area, get a quiet core. Mine was so loud i almost had the cops over because of it! As for the smaller front sprocket, It gave more bottom end without sacrificing to much top end. If your area is like:first gear,second,third, then downshift and turn around i'd get the sprocket. If your sons running wide open or touching wide open dont get it. hope this helps
