05 450r 13 tooth sprocket, hcII cam, Dr. D slip on.

I forgot to leave some commentary on my excursion over president's day weekend during February. I beat multiple 06 yfz's with cam mod and full pipes. I did get beaten by some yfz's and trx's. The thing is one of my buddies has a 06 yfz with cam mod and a full carbon pipe. Well I beat him soundly 4 times in a row by 3 to 4 lengths even when he left early(on banshee hill, no whoops, because he doesn't like whoops). This guy has a lot of experience on the hill. This last weekend he was at dumont and his quad was beating everything out there yfz 470 with 44mm Electron, all 06 450r's by supposedly 50 feet. I rode the 470 and I thought my 05 would be close to it. My issue is it just doesn't make sense that my 05 is so fast now with so few of mods.
What has been your experience with similar mods on an 05 in drag racing?

How much do you weigh? In hillshooting weight makes a HUGE difference. The right gearing, jetting and paddles also plays a big factor. You may have had the optimal setup for that particular hill on that particular day.
