Thats a close one but i think you will lose. you will get him great off the line, and the 5spd helps but i think you will get run down. At least spend 20 bucks for an open air element. That will make a world of difference and every little bit helps out.

i personally think you should spend the extra $20 since you have to live with the engine for a while...just remember the LO3 falls on its face after about 4500 RPMs so don't redline it when you race

IMO you may get the jump on him by 2 cars at the start but if he's a good driver once his turbo kicks in your toast.

is it a turbo car, because if it is, it doesn't matter where u shift, your gonna lose. if it isn't u should win, considering i took a 92 mr2 non-turbo in my 82z, bone stock.
