Well I figured it out. The problem with the DS you raced is a poorly tuned carb/pipe/airbox setup. When I installed the RW stage one kit it was slower than stock, although it had more lowend! After properly tuning the carb and enabling the accelerator pump, the thing was insane. I had to pull 2 extra teeth in the rear AND one extra tooth in the front for safety reasons, otherwise I couldn't keep the frontend down, given good traction.

AH HA!!!!!!!!!!

The first intellegent answer as to why my Raptor won't be here until Oct. I live in the People's Republic of CA, and I guess our air is so much more important than the rest of the country's. It is so much more important, that we have to wait to get our Raptors. I am so proud that my elected dictators are up in Sacramento protecting me, while the rest of the world gets to play on their new toys.

I hope you guys have fun on your Raptors, and I will be reading all about your adventures as I sit and wait for my dealer to call

426EX you have made my day! You know where West Salem is at? Dragway 42 is located there. I would love to finally be able to race something other than a Lt500 and a older banshee. Let me know...wednesday nights the owner loves the idea!

pairof98s, Probably the next time I'm at LS I will have the supercharger kit. I hope it will be in October sometime, running on race gas, and maybe alcohol by Thanksgiving weekend.

There are a few places in the DFW area that I ride the DS as well as other areas within a few hours drive. See www.txmud.com
