With a 15 tooth sprocket on the Quadracer I would guess that the Predator would take it off the line but the Quadracer would catch back up after it manages to build some rpm's.

With a more reasonable sprocket on the Quadracer like a 13 tooth (one tooth bigger than stock) I think the Quadracer would win in any race.

Going up a tooth on the front gear makes a big difference no less 3. With the mods you listed I think a Quadracer could pull a 15 tooth, but the Predator is a bad **** bone stock (the one I’ve seen so far was stock) no less piped and a 180lb rider is comparatively light on a big 4 stroke. The Quadracer would need every advantage off the line.

My 86 has high compresion, FMF silencer, K&N filter and lower overall gearing than stock. I didnt race the Predator but I am fairly certain I would have lost.

when i see the pair of piped predators fly by my house on the road i can look at them and guess at their speed. im lucky that my road i live on is very straight and they are at high rpms when they go by. just by looking at them and comparing how fast i can go down my road i believe i can beat them. they sound fast but they dont look like their going that fast.
