I have a Marzocchi MXC 03 whit a fork travel between 105mm or 85mm, now, the fork have 105mm, but I donīt ride very adapted with the angles.

Which it is the ideal travel of a fork mounted in a Razorback 03/04 frame?
What travel of fork you have in your Razorback?

I have an '02 with a 80mm Duke Race fork on it, but IIRC the '04 Razortback Comp comes with a 100mm fork. I guess you could go either way, depending on how you like to ride it.

Like I said, I got an 80mm fork on mine, and dig it. It is a lot twitchier than my other bikes, but I kinda like it that way. Many do not. Shorter forks will steepen the head angle while a longer fork will slacken, making it steer slower.

I gotta say, once I get the bike up to 35 MPH or so on long fireroad decents, it gets awfully squirelly, OTOH it handles tight switchbacks with ease, and I feel as if I could thread it through a needle.
