Ok guys, this may sound carazy, but this is the secret. Run Liquid Wrench in your Coolant....may sound stupid, but it makes it run so cool it will act as an intercooler...all u need to do is remove your aribox and filter and put some expanded metal around the in take...it is so good for drag racing.

This is the best advice I've seen in this forum yet!

you guys, mopst of that stuff will add power but if you want fast all you need is a powerband and a box of rpm's, i have this on my z400 and even 250ex's with a filter and holes in the a-arms cant beat me!! also the guy with the 250ex said he is putting grips on, will i still be able to beat him, i beat him by about 3 quad lengths but with those grips i dunno[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Remove the tires from the rims,and put on just inner-tires on and inflate them to the max,I heard you can drive over water and float...Hell if you glue on a couple of paddles you can accelerate insted of rowing.

WRONG,sticker ADD power depending on the coolness of the design and the size you can add nearly 30% hp.

Here's what you do...the real deal...Get a set of 24 paddle tires....(dont tell me thbey dont make em cuz they do) Apply a layer of Goo Gone (this will help you later) and let them sit for approx. 25.62 hours. Then, mount the tire to a rim. I would suggest using .120 aluminum....be thats just me. Next, get a shapr razor and cut the pattern of your name in every paddle....each paddle...every single paddle...then, apply some contact paper to the tire making sure it is a perfect fit(this is where the goo gone comes into play, it makes the surface super sticky and super penetrating.) Then Put the tire on your quad making sure to leave 2 bolts off each...so you have extra bolts silly! These tires will give u so much traction it will be unreal!

Another good tip is to fill the tires half way with air...this will give u almost double the traction you need for MX, Big Mud Bogs, and dunes.

Another way for traction is a huge wooden plank used as a spoiler,straped to your grab-bar,giving you a strong "downforce",but dont use it for jumping because the downforce is so strong it doesnt let you off the ground.
