If the Raptor is tuned perfect and the rider comes out of the hole hard in 2nd, then I predict
it will be very close - but that is hard to do without lowering or extending the Rappy suspension.

Also depends how long the race. I'll say 450 by a couple bikes if its a shorter race.

Depends on how the raptor is piped, jetted, and filtered. With the right pipe, a k&n, no lid, and the right jetting; the raptor should have no trouble overtaking the YFZ. The problem is, more than half the raptors out there are never tuned right...

I hate it when that happens, my puter won't post then it doubles it. Couldn't be the operator.......

I agree with hounddog to a certain extent, but my experiences with our Raptor tuned by yours truly so it must be perfect [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] gets beaten by my stock YFZ lid off baffle out. That's with a 70 pound lighter rider on the Rappy too. Mrs Shady tried Choke Cherry on the Rappy twice and couldn't get up it, I sent the YFZ down the hill to her and she just drove up like it was nothing.

From past experiences, I'll go out on a limb and take the Raptor.

I think it will be whoever gets the better whole shot but In a Short Race YFZ will win but in a long one the Raptor will
