Here is one of several videos Raptorfam660 sent me. This one is of him and his dad racing up Chinawall at Glamis this past turkey day.

Craycraft vs Sparks 2.5mb

 

damn homie got spanked on the top end

 

Yes I did...thanks for the reminder, that bike runs exceptionally well, china wall is steep

 

is the only difference in those bikes is the porting and cam?

 

lol least it was by your dad.

 

yep and pipe and rider, basically the same

supposed to be the same engine as the 4 engine (took 8 months to get back)

 

First time poster here, long time Glamis rider. Having done a few searches it appears that Craycraft and Sparks are two very highly respected tuners. China Wall at Glamis is short and steep as compared to the Oldsmobile hill. In order for a Raptor to make up that much ground and then pull like that on the big end on such a short hill, that Sparks bike must be making significantly more power. It appears more and more Sparks bikes are making there way into the general population. Impressive video. May I ask if the basic work performed by both shops was similar in cost? Thanks.

 

Hmmm....Well I got the same CC 686, so Sparks will prolly be faster than me too. I got my name still on the list at sparks and it will be on it for a year now this march. When they call me about the engine work I might buy a stock head and have them port and flow it. I could then swap the heads when I wanted to and compair the engines really well. Just a thought. What you guys think?

 

The funny thing is on olds I am about 1 bike length behind??? That video will be posted today, I might have even beat him if this banshee didn't make me slam on the brakes!!! I guess I'm geared better for olds.

The cost was very similar, $100-200 difference, but you need to plan on waiting for a while. BigBubba it would be very interesting to see the difference, and I think it would be a great idea. Only have to buy the cam and porting, looking at about $700.

 

What make of pipes are the two raptors running?
