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.

MasterRaptor......do you ever go out to the drags put on by Richards out at 339th Ave...River bottom(out by Tonapah) and have you checked out the new RATV/MX Warehouse that he just opened on 43rd Ave and Peoria....lots of cool stuff.
