Guys/Gals...how fast is your modified Raptor? GPS readings? My E-trex says I am running slightly over 79 with the stock muffler (baffle removed).

I had mine up to 74mph with a trail tech
but it was in a river bed it's hard to look
at the speedo when dealing with terrian coming
at you at those speeds I checked the the trail tech
with an xr and it's pretty close

74.5 with a police radar gun on a paved road
my raptor was brand new at the time and the cop was a friend of mine doing me an unauthorized
favor.

Thats about as fast as I have heard stock. Does the Cannibal run with the Raptor? How do you like the Cannibal?

my stock cannibal will out run my piped and unlided raptor in a 660'drag race
1/8th mile
its also outran a 14,000.00 full race banshee a piped and unlided ds 650 and a
race prepped 420ex from ct racing
i currently am having internal motor mods(piston,cam etc)done on my raptor
along with the addition of a plus 2 swingarm in order to modify it and catch
my cannibal.
2nd thru 4th on my"c"are UNREAL its as if the quad is riderless

Seems hard to believe, but not unbelievable. Has anyone had a cannondale of any model dyno'ed? I think Dirt Wheels had one dyno'ed a little while back, but can't recall the numbers.

Yes, that seems very hard to believe. Even if DirtWheels did dyno a Cannondale, doesn't mean they will give the real numbers.

rsperformance claims 38 hp for a 375lb quad
thats a pretty impressive power to weight ratio but let me continue by saying this ,once the tricked out banshee got its rubber underneath it and hit 6th gear it was gone and i mean GONE
