Wow lets all take off our airbox lids and put on a pro twist throttle , I am sure then we can all go about 80mph. I want all of you non-believers to bring your little e-ton look-alikes down to clinton NC and get ur butt's smoked. Or you can take my word as a fellow ATVer and realize that I am just relaying information and tell me what I would gain from lying about something that I didn't believe in the first place either. Sorry if ya'll take offense to this. Any one who is serious about coming down to NC send me a name and time and we will get a race goin'.

Was this 130 mph measured by a radar gun or some homemade K-Mart blue light special speedometer?

He got confused when using the radar gun, he had it set on kph (kilometers per hour).LOL

If we do the math and convert the kph to mph its probably going to come out to 80 to 85mph not 130.
Like I said before the 500cc trinity drag banshee can barely do 100mph, dont even say a 400ex can go faster I dont care if it has nitrus its not going to do a 130mph.PERIOD.

The guy must have gotten the 800cc big bore kit with the turbo and nitros options.

Scramdaddy: Just a small correction. The 500cc Trinity Banshee did 98mph in a 1/8 mile. So it is probably geared low. If it had higher gearing, I'm sure it could reach much higher speeds. But, why the heck would you want to go 98 mph on a quad anyway?

The only way I could see a 400 come close to around a 100mph is with the Sparks 505 kit. Of course, it must have very high gearing to reach those speeds.

My banshee I figured could reach about 90 or 95 but I never reach them speeds........Mainly b/c I dont wanna kill myself. Why would someone wanna go 130 on a quad??? There is no point. Unless your looking for a quick way too get hurt. Im sure that would do it.

Mudslinger85:
There are hard thinks in this life, but impossible almost nothing.
To be honest with you, is hard to believe in those 130mph in a quad, but everything can be, so I'm not bashing you, but why you don't tell us about what kind of modifications the engine has, or maybe is a completly different engine, like somebody said: "A 800cc nitros, supercharged".

Thanks for the info.
