Default 686 Raptor VS YFZ450

How may quad lengths should a 686 raptor take a Stock 450 with a slip-on pipe in staight drag race on pavement?

Any 686 Raptors out there race the 450? I am trying to bench mark my 686.

How long is the race? If it's a short race (< 300 ft), you'd better have your launch technique perfected or the YFZ could win.

Itallion,

I sent the parts off to be machined and did the labor myself.

I am only pulling a length or two against my buddy's stock 450 when draging thru about 4th gear. I only had 20 min on the engine at the time....maybe it needs to break in a bit.

I was hoping to pull at least 5 quad lengths. I think I need to do some tweaking on the jets or something.
