Default have you ever seen a built predator??

I thought by know that i would have run across a built predator. Been to a few dragstrips, Little Sahara, Kermitt and others areas and never seen a built one. Barely a piped on. At kermitt we were busting down the trail and a predator coming the other way wreck 300 feet in front of us trying to get out of the way. lol Did polaris quit selling them?? I though superbikes was building some. Looks like the hi-po boys are still riding raptors and DS's with a few v-forces and yammie 450 building to play. So where are these built predators? Maybe airraptor named them right.

Biggest cc I know of is the Southbay 460 and a test stroker 470 in the secrecy of Ohio.

I don't know of anyone putting "bigger" injectors in a 'Dale but SB does mess with them in some capacity to pull out more power. I think they change the angle on them so they squirt in a more efficient place.

Nobody has made a cam for the 'Dale that I know of. I just don't think there is a big enough market.

Southbay does a head mod - pulls out several HP - that's the only mod the kid from PA has and you can read about his success on the link I posted in the other thread. His is probably the most "built" 'Dale I know of, it will be a little more built come next season with added HP from Southbay.

Sandgod has one (Southbay, I think). I saw (and heard) he and Buddah (YFZ450) racing in Little Saraha this weekend. I don't know who won, I didn't talk to them.

I dont think you will see the Predators out in very big numbers. I do more 330 Mojave than predators and they only sold about 2000 units a year of the old Kawi's.
