Default need horsepower

hey yamaha'ers hows it going? i have a 03 raptor and my buddy has a v force 700, we are always neck to neck on races but he just ordered his pink spring.....i guess it gives you horsepower or he says....so i am looking for a cheap part that gives you horsepower? what do you think would be my best option??? i have thought about getting a pipe but i want full pipe and they are 500 bucks...see i am unemployed..so it is tough to buy parts!

Man. . . I hope this is the case!

I put the 686 in my Wife's Raptor and it has felt strong but, haven't done the sprocket change yet.

Should have the +4 swingarm and 12 tooth on by this weekend then at Sand Mt. next weekend.

We ride with a lot of family's and one of the ladies (with a YFZ450) has been talking some $hit! I probably have about 80 lbs. on her so. . . should be an interesting race up the hill.

13 tooth on the front is stock...and the 12 will get you low end torque and a ton of it. and it will get you through the gears quicker and will get you ahead of that grasshopper.

You don't gain HP from changing the size of the sprocket. It just gets you up to speed faster. But you usually lose power and/or speed in other parts of the power band.
