Big thing in my opinion is tires. There are alot of people here with different opinions on which tires are best. Do a search. A four stroke makes more torque, than a two stroke like the blaster. The trick is to put that torque to the ground and limit the tire spin. A rider also needs experience and throttle control. I am not saying you do not personally have experience. Just speaking in general. This will translate into faster acceleration. The two stroke will normally rev higher and accelerate faster than a four stroke just by basic motor design. Four strokes are starting to get better though....In the trees, take him through the mud, he will have to maintain higher revs or the blaster will tend to bog down.
