Hey guys,

I need a little help here. Thinking about making my raptor into a 686, Is it worth it or not ?

Will I notice a big diffrence in power? Should I go with race gas or stick to pump gas?

 

I've got an 04 raptor sent off to LRD to get turned into a 686. I'm also changing a lil bit more than the motor though, so that maybe i can get more of that HP to the ground. I'm expecting it back the end of this week sometime i believe. It'll probably take me a week or so after that to get it into shape. I won't forget about you though, and i'll reply for sure.. Until then.......

 

Raptors love compression and a strong 686 will run with most big bores. With a good build, you will feel more power from a 686 than you felt with a pipe, filter, and jet kit on the stocker. If you can get race gas or alky and it won't break your budget, I'd go with high compression (12.5:1+). The more power you add, the more stuff will need upgraded to handle it.

 

Mine made a huge difference. It actually Doubled the power from a stock # of 33HP to over 60!!! If standing up on the pegs doing 50+ in forth gear and, just laying on the throttle (no Clutch) and, blowing a wheelie across a sand dune is a good measure of feeling the difference - that is what you can do!

 

Hey guys thanks for the info. Hope to get my raptor going pretty soon

 

Man i would definitely do the 686. I just got mine done last week and i cannot belive the difference it made. Well thats also with the exhaust, and ported head. If you do get it dont forget about the rod. I am going to little sahara this weekend. The dyno is going to be my first stop.

 

670 11:5:1 compression forged pistons new valves new cam ct exhaust k&n intake, unmodified intakebox mixed 91octane +100cotance fuel =57hp [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] worry free about having a broken crank may not be the fastest but it is realiable...

 

fordplay you're pretty close to me. Alot of my buddies reside in plano.

 

maybe we will all have to go ride sometime, you might even know some of us. Never know....
