a lot of it may depend on rider ability but since the ex is piped it will have a little more power and its possible to beat the stock z
and tell your friend to get his Z piped and jetted and he should have no problems

It's probably the rider ability or weight. A piped ex will only take a stock Z on the bottom, once they get going the Z should pull a hair.

My friend jay has a Z400 with yoshi slip-on, and jeff has a 400ex with Pro-Circut slip-on, Jay wheighs about 250, Jeff weighs about 145. Both very good experienced riders, in drags the Z400 wins by about 1/2 a quad lenth.
