Webopper,
The description you gave of the YFZ you were racing explained his trouble. Low gears really suck in drag racing. You take a piped YFZ and run it a few passes with 20" tires w/ stock gears, then install some 22" tires. You will gain at least a quad length just because even though YFZ's are relatively high geared in 1st, they are a little too low geared to run their best starting in second. I do accountability races with a guy on a YFZ that is just piped and we have tested all manner of gearing combinations on both his and my DS and my conclusion is, low gears make a bike strong not fast.
I have yet to see a properly set up YFZ consistently lose to a properly set up Pred. What I have seen is the other way around. Pred's have pretty good top speed though.
Regarding this thread? I agree with you. I would have skipped it as soon as the NOS thing came up. LOL[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

No freaking way dude, I would be embarrased by that. You should be even more embarassed as it was a built YFZ barely beating a stock Pred. I mean c'mon man...
