Can I beat this 5.HO?

This is drag not street it will take place on a drag strip so dont lock it please. I have been challenged to a race by an 88GT with only full exhaust and mallory ignition, he will be running cheater slicks.He also has 3.73 gears. Now the car i'll be driving is a 66 Malibu with a punched out 350, last year with 3.23 open diff and a 650 edelbrock it ran a 14.29 since then I have added 3.73's with a posi and a 750 holley i'll be running radials what do you think? Personally I think his *** is mine.

He should run 13.9-14.3 depending on how many miles are on it
and the shape of the motor.Get some tires and show him your tail
lights.

Hmm. I dunno, but why did you swap the carb? No other changes? You may be 'over-carbed' now.

It'll be close.
