Default 4 degree key and dyna works, smokes 400EX

I have the dyna and 4 degree key and raced a kid with a Honda 400EX 3 times today.
I smoked him 3-4 quads, maybe more he was so far back in 500 feet.
He was highly modded with exhaust, carb, custom airbox and more I do not remember.
He said there was no way I could win basically. Not in exact words, but I knew what he meant.
Anyway he was claiming he could do 75-78 mph.

That opened up the opportunity to race. Was not even close and there is one humbled kid that thought there sport was so fast. His little brother even said I can't believe a utility beat a sport.
I'm stoked.

Don't sound right but is fun for sure.
Now I'm looking for one of those raptor guys. That even sounds weird doesn’t it?
I know someone that has a raptor and maybe we can get together.
He knows I'm modded as he is.
I want to race and think it will be close 300-500 feet.
This dyna cdi and key has moved my speed into the raptor class I think.

Was the key and CDI installed at the same time? or was the key put in after ther CDI? If so how much difference did the key make?

Cuda440 key was put in before dyna, I did it with dg3 and performance was good. After dyna I picked up 2 seconds in a dirt 330 foot stretch.

Customfabandweld I did get some knocking after running some hills and took it to dealer. I told him what I had done I was under the impression I needed to run premium gas and on top of that I added octane booster in gas, because of the advance of timing.
Bad news just run 87-91 with no booster. I was getting a knock with the additive. Pre- ignition I guess so went back to regular. They drained gas and knock cleared up.
Since then I have had no problem in fact seems to have better power with just 87 octane gas. Seems funny but it works.
I should add that the higher you go the less octane needed per shop mechanic.
I am at 4500 feet and he said I over shot by adding the octane booster.

sounds great... I just got my CDI today... I'm already spanking most sport quads, with my highly modified FST 750 Prairie... I expect that with the better timing advance & higher rev limit, this will put me in the 80 mph 1/4 speed range... whoo hoo... time to hit the strip again...
