Default lost to a predator

Gary and Ernie, those of us with a portlier figure will lose ground using the 14T. I weigh 270# and my quickest gearing to date (racing my riding buddy) has been the stock configuration. My Rap is piped, jetted and no box but still doesn't have enough poop to pull a 14.

Default lost to a predator

raptor is finally jetted and i ran with the pred again. i absolutely dominate off the line and soon as i shift to 4th gear, he just walks past me. i dont understand it at all. we did switch, and he came about 2 inches from flipping raptor on the grab bar off the line, so i smoked him from start to finsih on that. i just dont understand it. i beat him with stock everything, now i got a pipe and its jetted right, and hes walking past me close to top end. could it just be my sprocket? i still have the 12 in there, im going to put in my 13 again and see the resluts, this is really getting to me.

our first drag when i was stock, it was on paved road with a slight incline uphill. after my mods, every race has been on level paved ground. he only is walking past me when i top out 4th gear, i cant get it. im putting in my old 13 tooth and seeing what happens. if i dont win, i figure for me thats a 250$ waste of $.
