A couple issues back in dirtwheels they did an article on a 400EX and 330EX. I didn't read the whole thing since it was late and I can't find it now but is it true that the 400 got beat buy the 330?

What about a 416EX, 426Ex, and 440EX. What else have you beaten on them?

I have not raced a big bore 400ex such as the 416EX, 426Ex, or 440EX. I am pretty sure my 330 would'nt beat those.

i doubt it would touch a 416 or a 426, those are more of drag bikes.

i think it would run with a 440 pretty good. Heavier piston, won't rev as fast, slower overall than the 416s..

but then its all about the rider, holeshot..shifting and what not...

it could be done

If you can keep up with and sometimes pull a DS650, QR250, QR500, or 430EX then the 330EX will keep up with a 416EX...

I constistantly beat these guys in 300-400yard drags.

I am sorry Mia but you cant keep up with a QR 500 if its well tuned,cause a well tuned QR 500 makes a DS 650 or a Raptor look like they are kids toys and they are not...

I don't believe that you can even come close to the Quadzilla. Maybe it was a piece of crud so you did beat that one but I still doubt it. Not trying to bash you or anything, just don't believe it.

Lt beleive me a well tune QR 500 will eat up with ease any DS 650 or Raptor or modified 400ex unless you spend 3000$ on them.I must specifie that the 3000$ is for the 400ex not the Raptor or the Ds 650.
