Rev-limiter, but w/o motor work (Cam, piston, etc.) I don't believe you'll beat a Raptor in a straight line drag. But you have the quad already to win in the woods.

there are a few ways to beat the rartor that are free and easy
1) take the raptors gas no gas no go
2) knock the raptor guy off his fourwheeler
3) Flaten his tires , he wont be going anywhere fast

The only thing you gotta do is wait for the Raptor's carbs to pop off and 2nd gear to let go. :-0

According to Dirtwheels the top-speed is 71 MPH.They are never real accurate with top-speeds. How much was your Speedo? And how hard was it to put on yur EX? I am getting a 400EX and want to put one on their.
