3500 bucks for the basic kit plus install and all the extras is very obviously not the cheapest modification for speed.

Try to bring something constructive to the conversation.


If you get a smaller rear sprocket or larger front sprocket you can increase speed as well. But if you get a larger rear or a smaller front you can increase your accelleration. So unless you ride at over 70mph all of the time and need more speed, then I suggest the latter.
or you could go to a junk yard and take one out of a van...smart@$$

would you just put a cam with a piped raptor? or should you put a higher comp piston in it too?
You can drop a stage one cam into a raptor and see some performance gains. A high compression piston would significantly increase the benefits though.

You could. Someone did it on a blaster and it was posted in dirtwheels a few years back.

Your performance gains would be nearly worthless. In the time it would take to find and attempt to rig a setup like that you could remove the spark arrestor, remove your snorkel, and rejet the quad. You would make more power with the simple modifications than you would from your elaborate and time consuming "turbo" salvaged from the junk yard.

Dumb a$$
