I was reading in the newest of 4-Wheel ATV Action and there was an ad for that 4 Wheel Thunder place. I saw that they have a new 686 Raptor big bore kit that comes with high compression piston, cam, porting, valve grind, gaskets, and complete installation for $699! Does this seem cheap to anyone else besides me? I know Craycraft's kit is $1635 but it includes those coatings and new Ferra stainless valves. Also, I don't know if 4WT's kit comes with ew valve springs like CR's does. Their porting may be better, too. But still, 700 plus 250 for valves plus, let's say, 150 for coatings, MAYBE 150 for vavle springs (Don't know if they supply them as well) and even 100 more for better porting (MAYBE!)
That is still only $1350, 300 dollars less than Craycrafts price. I'm not trying to bash anyone, because ultimately I would still rather spend more and go with Craycraft, just because of the good people involved. What do you guys think?

 

Hmm...what I've always found out by experience is that if you spend less for something you can spend wayy more on you usually didn't make the best choice. I've noticed they dont live up the the expectations at all. I'd rather pay more and know what I'm getting then to pay less and not know.

 

Yeah but what cam, who ports it, etc...

I think something is up with that, its just to cheap.

 

You usually get what you pay for. What piston?? Je or wisleco

There was a lrd add a few months back for 799. When you call them springs were extra, porting was extra, and lots of extra, extras. New total was over 2ooo dollars.

 

I would say at least 95% of the time you get what you pay for. JMO

I agree with the above comments. You get what you pay for. Don't skimp on a motor. And don't pay way to much and have less horsepower than people that spent less than you. Hahaha...
