Is the price gap shrinking? Modified Raptor vs. Modified DS
So, you want a powerful 4-stroke quad. It used to be the DS cost to modify was nearly twice what it took to modify the Raptor. Is that still the case?
First, the price of the quads (I know this is Northern California only)
New Raptor (O.T.D.) = $7,200
New DS (non-Baja but, with Tach and Baja Lights - buddy just bought one this way.) (O.T.D.) = $6800
For the Raptor, I looked at the On Dunes site and a 686 with a Carillo Rod and 1mm larger valves is $2k + $1200 for FCR's (source Trinity Racing)
For the DS, TVI and Mr. HP (On Dunes) have 105.5 bore 720's for about $1500 + approx. $2k for porting, larger valves and cams + FCR''s (approx. $900)
Time to total things up:
Raptor: 7,200 + 2,000 + 1200 = $10,400 (hey, no one ever said power was cheap!
DS: 6,800 + 1500 + 2000 + 900 = $10,200
I didn't figure a pipe in this because cost for a pipe for the DS and the Raptor is basically the same.
A few years ago the DS would cost you a lot more than the Raptor but, it doesn't look to be the case today.

What is included in the $1,500 bore job for the DS?
Porting, valves and cams cost $2k for the DS....whats the price break down?
