what will it take to get a 400ex to run with a raptor

Totally depends on many factors, including:
- riders ability
- riding conditions
- condition of the quads
- how modded the 400EX is
My 416 (see mods below) hangs within 1 quad length of a Raptor (with a pipe & jet kit) in a drag race on pavement up till 5th gear, when the Raptors top speed allowed him to pull away from me. *IF* it had been a stock Raptor, my 416 probably would have been nose to nose with him, up until 5th.
So it takes quite a fair amount of motor mods to a 400EX to keep it in the same ballpark as a Raptor -- in pavement drags. However, on the track and trail, I had no problem keeping up with, and I'm sure I could have easily gotten around the Raptor.
A bigger bore 400EX may do even better against a Raptor...with the right cam, exhaust, etc.
But in general, the Raptor hauls. To bad it isn't as reliable as it is fast.

For all you 400ex riders, there is hope. My buddy's 426ex(EXJumper on this forum) with a 10:1 compression piston, White Brothers Pro Meg exhaust, port and polish(done by himself), plus K and N filter, will hang within a quad length of me from 1st to 5th gear on pavement. That is with a stock Raptor. There is a slight weight difference between us, about 15 lbs, with him being the lighter one. We are waiting for him to purchase a cam to see how much closer it is.
