Default z440 vs. pred, yfz, and rappy?

i know that any of these quads would burn a z400 but if i bored it out, piped, and just modded the crap out of it how would it match up to each of these quads? anyone who has bored thier z let me know if they feel it was worth the money.

there is a shootout in dirtwheels in i think maybe the october or november issue. Either way, it's a z440 super tricked out, vs. a piped yfz and a pred. In the drags, the yfz would jump out, then it would take most of the run for the wiseco 440 to keep up. And the predator was left behind so bad. a super tricked z440 is real close to a yfz.

Predator's are few and far between and are not that great. yfz's feel small and uncomfortable.the raptors nice but dose not handle as well. The z400's fast and easy to ride. as far as the honda it has not even came out yet.

that shoot out was bull.. its was a built z440 vs a fully piped and jetted (fmf powerbomb) yfz and a pred that had the WB slip on.. the z440 and the yfz had more money into them.. they gave the pred some uneeded upgrades.. like hubs... (stupid!)
if a magazine is going to compare quads they need ot make each one modded the same.. not all different. thats just common sense.



boring a z400 out to a 440 isnt going to do much unless you get cams hc piston and other mods..
so the answer is no... its not worth it unless you plan on doing alot of other mods.. moring it out to a 440 might give you a 1-3 HP gain... if that.
