i have a kfx 400 with full yoshi, mod quad airbox with k&n filter, jetted, white brothers rev box 13/40 gearing and i cant even come close to a stock 400ex with a hmf slip on as far as power or speed... i thought these quads were suppose to be faster but i guess not... anyone have any suggestions

Put a 14 tooth front sprocket on for sure a 13 is useless ive riden everywhere with a 14 never need a 13 if you can ride it, if you wana spend money put kibblewhite valves and springs and a high comp you'll know a difference trust me I never got beat I even kept up with a yfz473

took the air box cover off and its like riding a total different quad... made a world of difference in power... runs exact even with the ex now

Still something is wrong. You should be beating that honda pretty badly even if you were stock. Something is out of whack. My stock motor kfx400 would laugh at a bolt on 400ex.

low psi on a compression test... time for a tune up i suppose

Low PSI could be a couple things. If a valve is not sealing that you will lose compression big time. If you got it down that far check the head real good.
