ok, just got back from Little Sahara. I have a 400ex with a $160 piston and a $112 camshaft. (416 11to1) Stock exhaust, stock air filter.
Ran into a stock Raptor, raced 5 times, beat him 4 out of 5 times, both had sand shark 20x11x9.
Just thought you would want to know.
However, I will be fair and tell the rest of the story. There were 2 others with a different airfilter (it was orange) and the carbon fiber GYTR pipe, other than that totally stock. Both beat me by about 3-4 bikes every time.
Must be a hell of a pipe, or they are extremely governed down as a stocker.
Just thought I would pass on some facts.
A buddy of mine gets a Raptor in a few weeks, I will report on how I do on cement and dirt vs him.

Putting a pipe on a 400ex is a waste of money! read ATVsport or Dirt Wheels. Both articles state they aren't that great of an improvement. However, they seem to be a big improvement on the Raptor, that is what I was trying to convey. However, if you must ask...
5500 for the quad, 500 for a arms, 1000 for shocks, 500 for subframe, 200 for paint, 200 for plastic set 1, 300 for plastic set 2, 100 for seat cover, 200 for handlebars, 150 for skidplates, 10 for grips, 800 for wheels and tires, 300 for motor mods, 30 for grab bar, 80 for front bumper, 40 for shockwears, I am getting tired of writing.... but you get the point...

BROKE ........ive got a mojave but the hondas are hard to beat and for 7500 there plenty of room for refinement....see ya Oh and yes it was 82 degrees hear today and yes i went for a 50 mile desert ride in a tee-shirt .......
