Default Raptor Rectifier change 7 to 9 % Hp gain

Hey Raptor owners, anyone tried a Hi-perf Rectifier on their machine. Easy to install. Manufacturers say 7 to 9% increase in horsepower with a good battery. Seems like fast & easy Hp gain. If you have one that realy works, would you mind sharing the manufacturers name and cost with us. Thanks for your help.

Well...the idea is a simple one....They claim that the engine runs "lighter" by keeping a constant magnetic field on the magneto rotor. Claiming to give you an 8% or so increase in usable engine power.

Ummm......save your money for more fuel.


I'm thinking you would gain more horsepower by installing a neon light kit under the wheeler.

I agree, atleast on the preds it is the same story........they quit letting your battery get charged while you are riding it(or something like that)....thus you are supposed to get more power, people have tried it and say it is a waste of money. I would save my money for a pipe or something that is going to give real performance.......
