If you just want to go fast in a straight line buffs are the way to go, they won't have much turning ability tho.

<< ...A buddy of mine put the GPS in his pocket and made a pass on his banshee. To my suprise he only managed to get 62 MPH. His banshee is alot faster than my raptor in a dragrace. But, how come he could not go as fast as me and my raptor? His bike will run 5.3-5.4 in hundred yard sand drags[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] >>

He's probably not really getting into the "meat" of his powerband. With lower than stock gearing I can rev out pretty good in 5th but in 6th it barely wants to stay on the pipe.
