No. Maybe 2, but not 20

It is sitting somewhere around 42 or 43 out of the crate. After that, the smallest mods make significant gains.

250R4LIFE - have you been doin any racing with that baby yet? I was at dunefest and there was a piped one and lets just say wow. Certainly impressive, even the stock ones a very impressive. My raptor and a 450 with the bffle and lid off ran dead even almost over and over again. Just wonderin what it takes to beat you?

WILDCHILD660R, I have been to Pismo on two different Beach trips. And I have done a ton drag racing with it. My YFZ450 has the Sparks
pipe, air box mod, cam mod & jetted. AND THAT'S IT! From what I have experienced on a regular basis while racing the flats or Comp hill is
this bike is in a league of it's own. It absolutely crushes piped raptors, Banshees & 250R's by over 5-6 bike lengths ( I didn't have a tape
measure, So I'm not positive). I was getting beat by the Sparks 690's and the Sparks built 400 Suzuki, And only the HIGHLY modified
Banshees & 250R's could beat me.
