drag racing sprockets

[speedy400]

hey I have a 416ex with the mods in my sig. I'll be ice drag racing this winter, I will be using old 20 inch holeshots with about 20 snowmobile 3/4in ice studs in each tire(with tubes). What sprocket setup should I set myself up with? thanks for any help.-darren

I ran 15/36 and 16/36 last year with pretty good results. Never lost in the 4 stroke class... Honestly, however, stock gearing will also work well, of course depending on how long the track is if you are drag racing, or how open the ice track is that you will be racing on. You really want to be able to get to top speed by the end of the track if you are simply racing for highest speed. Running 16/36 gearing with 18" tires, I was radared @69.2 last year. Not one other quad really held a candle to me, including some other EX's, Z's, Raptors, R's, and a DS. My quad really impressed me with how well it ran. I am anticipating this winter to see how my latest mods help out.

wow, congrads skemp, that'd be kick arse to beat my own dad(he has a pretty much stock ds650). I think I'll try out 15/36 and see how that goes over. thanks, BTW where did you get your 16 tooth front sprocket?thanks-darren

Rocky Mountain. It is a Renthal sprocket and it is holding up far better than other sprockets I have had.
