Last summer, big bore Preds, YFZ's and Raptors were battling it out at the Monkey Butt drags in Wisconsin. The YFZ's took everything out of the hole, but at the end of the 300 ft, the Preds beat everything. People who take the time to get the Pred in the sub 400lbs range, while boosting hp will end up opening other peoples eyes. They're all good.

No doubt modquad. Sounds like a good show.

 

yeah no kidding....when I just see that pred up close it makes me shiver. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

what exactly is "monkey butt" drags...
and why is it that i dont ever see any videos of the pred beating yfz's... i know yamaha owners wont post them... and i am sure they do get beat sometimes... but you would think some pred owners would post some videos of them wasting all these yfz's.
the pred is fast... but like i said... none of them around here are as fast as the yfz's... its close... but the preds are always behind when it comes down to it.

except once... i beat a yfz on my pred... 3 runs later my tranny blew...

 

Maddog, Doug Nichols is the only person I know that has a cam that is making gains over the stock
cams. The bugs are still not worked out right now. So until he gets them perfected, the stock cam makes more power on the dyno than any other cam period. Some of the other cams might do well on a stock bike, I don't know, but they lost power with my combination. I test every part on the dyno and the track to measure performance gains, i don't put much face in somebody saying this or that is the best, we test it, if it works we keep it, if not, you can purchase it on ebay.

 

Hozed, since I've upgraded my gear, there should be quite a few opportunities for quality race documentation this coming summer. It has started w/ the 4 stroke stock class in GNCC, now watch as it spreads. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

With Dave Heider healing, watch for Preds to take 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

 

Yeah Doug's pred is very fast.....he does have cams on his site for sale, www.nicholascycle.com, and I think he has perfected them. If you want big power gains, get ahold of Doug, he will talk to you forever about performance upgrades. Give him a call, his number is on the site.

 

if my olelady knew howto video tape something or anything i would have already had proof of mylil olepred spotting two piped and jetted no lid airboxed yfz's three quad lenghts count them that was 3 did i mention i gave them three quad lengths ahead and i still won.but where i got them was off the line imagine that. i know thereissome disbelievers here so ask a dude called brown he was there

 

Most Predator owners are busy spending their extra cash on mods not a camera!

 

Hi everyone.... my fiance' rides a YFZ 450. I have added a Big Gun pipe, air filter, jets, and the cam mod. Last weekend I took it out to the dunes along with my buddy who rides a Predator with: Yoshimura full pipe, pod filter, jetting, and sprockets. We raced up competition hill about 30 times, and every time I would eat him up out of the hole, and then he would catch and pass me like a freight train!! He was by far the fastest predator at the dunes, and I only saw him get beat by 1 YFZ 450. the 450 that beat him had alluminum drag axle and a ton of light weight stuff on it!!
