727 Raptor paddle opinions.
I'm currently having my 727 built and I'd like some opinions on paddle tire selection. The basics of the motor are: 11.5:1 compression, oversize valves, full porting, Hot Cam (Stage II), and stock carbs. I'm also using an "02" transmission and a +4.5" swingarm. Any experiences or opinions?

The carb's will come after my wallet recovers. Unless anyone knows of a 4 barrel intake for a Raptor. I've got a 850 Barry Grant Demon laying around.

actually you want an 8 inch wheel if your drag racing, 8 inch wheels are lighter then 10 inch wheels. Less rotating mass is essentially what you are looking for. I believe the ratio is every pound of rotating mass is equivilant to 8 pounds of stationary weight.
Now, who says 10 inch wheels are cosmetically more asthetic? Your crazy, if your in this to race the smaller 8 inch wheels are more agressive and sportier (is that a word). Its like cruising down main street in a lambo with 24's. Get that small wheel under that animal!
One of the benefits between 20's and 22's is the tire is taller which will give you a more agressive gear combo

I've actually heard it's the other way around. A 10" wheel/tire combo is lighter than a 8" wheel/tire combo due to the fact that the added rubber in an 8" combo weighs more than the added aluminum in a 10" combo.

I have a stock bore raptor with 20x10x10, my bike has a full Yoshi exhaust filter and jet kit, I am dragging the swing arm a lot in the sand, do you guys think that 22 inch tires would help, if so what size I mostly drag and hill climb. Thanks for your opinions!
