400EX now or new sport later?

Ok, I just raced my cousin's 416ex again the other day, and with our current setups, mine will accelerate just a little faster until I hit 6th gear, then I'm gone. I'd say I have about 3-5 mph more on top end. He has a 2000 416EX with a 10.25:1 JE Piston, White Brothers full race cam, Pro Circuit pipe, K&N air filter w/ Outerwears and no lid, 18" Fast Trekkers on 8" Douglas .160's w/ a 16 tooth countershaft sprocket. The only performance enhancing mods done to my '90 LT250R are an FMF pipe and silencer, Boyesen rad valve, K&N air filter w/ Outerwears and no lid, and I cut out a hole in the front of the frame for the snorkel to take air directly in, which helped a good bit. He used to be able to beat me by a little until I finally got it jetted right and put on a new chain (I think the original one might have still been on it, it was a big performance killer). Now mine feels like it could pull even higher gearing, and I'm already running 41x13 (42x12 is stock). He just ordered a 37 tooth rear sprocket to see if that helps his top speed any. We'll see how that works. But I still have $3000 less invested in mine than he has in his, so its a shame that his isn't faster. Anyways, I've rode his quad quite a bit and its a lot of fun to ride. I would take it over anything on the market right now except for a Cannondale if I had the money. But I'd never be without a 2 stroke though, they're just too much fun.

I would give Mia a ten bike lenght lead and still kick ,his or her *** i dont know,by 15 bike lenghts in a quarter mile race but my Shee aint nowhere near stock.As for the LT 500r even in stock form it would destroy any kind of modded 400EX,execpt if the EX is running on nitro or something like that so if Mia has beaten one with a 416EX then the 500 must have been running with a melted piston.Mia good for you if your winning all the drag races held where you live but come down here and you wont win much if any,we have alot of real fast quads and i mean real fast.With that said, dont think that i am picking on you, a friend of mine owns a fully built 440EX and i rode it a few times,i must admit that for a 4 stroke it is pretty fast he can beat the Ds and the Raptor fare and square with his quad but he is no match for our modded Banshees or Lt 500r or heavily modded 250r.
