Default Best Carbs?

Which Carbs would be the best to put on my Raptor? I won't settle for anything but the best so please explain why they are the best and what I can expect to gain from adding these on?

Eddelbrock Quicksilver.It is a single pumper carb that replaces the 2 stockers. Heard they are really nice. no jetting required for additional mods done to the bike or elevation or temp changes. Comes complete around 550.00. Do a search and you'll find where to buy them or buy in quantity with a bunch of people and get it for around 499.00. Hope this helps.Don't worry predator530 is just jealous because there is not as much aftermarket stuff for his little 500 as theree is for our 660.Polaris should just stick with sleds.JMO.

Which is easier to use, I heard FCR's are hard to jet. But how much different in HP in the two. Hay pregnantgator always good to see you put your cent and half in. I know you don't have 2 cents, thats why you got a predator and not a RAPTOR.

dfitz,
not sure who told you that the FCR' s are hard to jet, because that is so far from the truth.....to jet all you have to do is unscrew the cap on the bowl and the jett is right there......to rejet the stockers is a pain in the *** compared to the fcr's...............be careful about the information you recieve, regarding jetting the fcr's......
herbdon out......
