Michael, I don't have a Raptor but I can say that on my Banshee when I switched from 10 paddles to 8 paddles it was probably the smartest thing I did. I had no idea how much those 10 paddles were dragging me down until I went with the 8 paddles. Just my$.02
I suppose for short drags a 10 paddle might be better since you want more take off than top speed. The 8 paddles really increased my top speed quite a bit.

I don't have a Raptor but will add this....
Lots of DS's run 22's because of the weight of the quad, but I have 20x10x10 Extreme Hauler 8 paddles. I like them. They seem like a good combo. Some spin on takeoff, but better then stock & still OK top speed.
My girl wanted paddles at the LAST minute for her 400. All they had was the same tire. Good take off but 4th & 5th are pulled down. Even an 8 paddle Hauler is too much (for an almost stock EX). My advice it is better to spin a little than get pulled down in top speed from to much paddle. I wish we had a V-paddle on the EX anyway.

I got away from paddles because of the rough ride and also they slow you down on topend.I now run Ohtsu pro wedges,they hook up hard in the sand,ride lots better and don't drag you down on top.They are a honda dealer item only,come in 22x11x9 at around $58.each.You might want to give them a try. 2001 Raptor FMF powerbomb header, powercore-4,FTZ headwork,11:1 piston,webcam,185-190 mains(FCR35 carbs coming soon)
