If you look at alot of dirt drag results the Banshees & 400L's rule the 2 stroke class. (Remember that includes R, LT's Tecates whatever.)
To think a 400L in a concrete filled frame runs with a Banshee says alot.

I believe the EX will barely beat the Sport. It's weight hinders it top speed. I wouldn't be sure about getting the holeshot though. An auto is hard to out holeshot. Usually it seems the EX has to catch & pass the Sport. Which given enough distance it will do.

There may be something going on with my friend's Sport than because if you hammer it from a dead stop it slowly crawls for a second or two until you get the revs built up, then it hits.

If he has a higher stall primary it helps to brake rev the motor. When you release the brake... BOING

Mine unloaded at about 4200 rpm.

FYI, my Scramble was more reliable than my brothers EX. Not that the EX was terrible, but the screws weren't falling out of my handlebars & gas valve like the EX did.

Screw both of them.....and buy a Predator!!! j/k....that's how fights get started, although the pred is a good option, not saying its a joke.

When I had my Scrammi I dragged a 400ex and we were neck and neck time after time. It's all in the rider and if he/she knows how to USE their quads power. As stated earlier brake rev the Scrammi and youll holeshot em nearly every time[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. But like everyone is sayin Mod a Scrammi and you can run with most Banshees but not all.

Thats odd, I ride my modified 440EX almost every day and it has NEVER broken down or left me stranded, all you gotta do is take care of your machine and it wont break down, usless of course it's a yamaha.
