If you have a Raptor 350 you can forget about it. If you have a 660, you can get a full exhaust for around $600 (I like Curtis Sparks), Pro Design air filter kit and jets for around $150, 11:1 high compression piston (JE or CP are good) for around $200 + labor and boring if you go bigger, a cam (Webcam or Hotcam) for around $200, and port & polish the intake and exhaust ports for around $200-400 depending on who does it. I'm not sure how much of this work it would take to beat your buddy, but you could start with the exhaust, filter and jets. Or you could just save all of your money, ride your Raptor like it is and have fun...........why do you care if your buddy's Banshee is faster?

yea start off with the big 3, good full pipe, fatter jetting, good filter then go from there, with just those you might be able to take him depending on his mods, if it is a 350 raptor then forget it lol.

With the pipe, intake, and jetting you can make it closer. Might even beat him depending on the start and traction conditions. Be warned, if he does any motor mods it will be much cheaper to give up now on mods and start challenging him to a turning race. Dollar for dollar you will never keep up with a Banshee straight line on a 660.

Well, sure. You can put either of them on the juice. Problem is, once you beat him with it, then he will get his own system, etc etc. If drag racing is your thing then have at it, just be prepared you will probably have to spend $3 to every $1 he shells out.
