Default ds650 drag race

I have a ds650 with a pro circuit t-4 slip on, stage1 jetting, dynatek cdi, 22inch rear tires, k&n air filter with pre filter, and a 15t front sprocket. my friend has a stock 700xx and we are gonna drag race. were only racing about 150 yards. who do you think will win?

I only run 75 mph with the 15t front sprocket on. Isnt the stock 700xx wicked fast on the top end?

Why worry about top end gear when its only 150yd race?? Your should be more worried about getting out of the hole against an ATV that ~50lbs lighter. I would keep the 15T on and launch hard in second gear. The start is where you are either going to win or loose the race...

Just do what the DSEngineer said. 15 tooth front and hard 2nd gear launch.. Are your rear tires any good?

My rear tires are 23 inch Kenda bearclaws with 80% tread. I just dont think the 15t front sprocket is doing me any good because my friends stock kfx 400 keeps up with me in the short drags and long drags. So i figured a 700xx will probably eat me alive if i dont switch back up to 16t. Ive been riding a long time i can ride pretty well.
