I'm gonna be racing my dad soon, hopefully this week-end. He has a 2002 Polaris Scramlber 400 4X4 which is totally stock. Think I can beat him with my stock 2001 300EX? It's most likely gonna be a drag race, so no turns or anything, just a straight away. I'm also thinking of buying the K & N Power kit. It comes with a DynoJet Carburetor jet kit, K&N airfilter, K&N precharger, and K&N service kit. It'll cost around $125 for it shipped. Good deal or no? I'm not really gonna be racing my bike, I just wanna give it mroe pep. I'm thinking of racing my Uncle though, he has a 2005 Polaris Predator 500, Troy Lee Edition. I don't think I'll be able to beat it.

The scrambler or predator will outrun a stock 300ex. Don't waste your money on a K&N or jet kit, your SOL.

SOL?!? What's That? Also, I was goin to buy the K&N Power Kit, which includes a K&N Filter, precharger, and a Dynojet kit. Is that a good deal for $125? I'm most likely goona buy it, even if it won't let me beat my dad, just for the gain. He thinks I might be able to beat him, cuz he has an extra 200lbs on his bike (him and then the 4WD) but he's not sure. If I do race him this week-end I'll tell ya who won....

SOL= $h*t out of luck

Your not going to get a gain from the dynojet kit, you'll just get a headache. The air filter won't do much for you either unlesss you put it on with a pipe or other mod to help move more air. $125 sounds high to me.

don't get a jet kit, get a filter, pipe, then to rejet ( you have to ) buy seperate jets from a local shop for like 2$ each.

OK How much would a good, not loud pipe cost? I've been looking at the FMF Power Core IV Q Silencer. Is it any good? I want a pretty cheap pipe (not over $300) that will give me the most gain. What do you guys recommend?

Will do. Thanx for the help. Just got $500 to buy parts for my truck, but I might be able to talk my parents into letting my use it on my bike. If so, then I'll be getting a pipe, and hopefully the 250R hood (love that way that looks!!). If I do, I'll post pics for ya guys...

Ya. I'm saving up for a Yoshi pipe. I'm not sure if my local ATV dealer has jets and stuff, cuz I need to rejet with my new pipe. The closest thing to me, is a Polaris dealer. my whole family is goin polaris, except me, like they always say, "If you're not riding a Honda, You must be pushing a Polaris!" My dad got stuck the other day. he has 4WD,but no one else but him got stuck, and they all had 2WD! It's all the extra weight. It created a suction and that's hwy he was stuck. Back on topic, LIke I said, I'm saving up for a Yoshi pipe, and a K&N Power kit from C&D.

In a drag race hell beat you, but add some turns and youll beat him.
