I think you've got this one dude, but go race him and find out!
I've never seen a blown 5.0 that didn't have alot of money in it that impressed me. But if he's done heads/cam/stroker and all the bolt-ons along with it being dynotuned, he could take you.

Is your engine in a car at all? I suppose you can hook a sprocket system to drive the engine stand wheels but the e/t might suck due to the lack of traction.

A procharger and a shot??? Im sure there are more modson the car and I sure hope he has it tuned right...
His car should be running fast if he knows what he is doing (my guess is he doesnt) and it looks like yours is pretty stout. Id say merely because the Mustangs mods are too unkown and hard to believe someone would just throw a blower and a 100 shot on a car that you got this one!

the car is probly built to handle the spray and boost.. my guesses as thats what most ppl do. that 5.0 will be making a ton of power.. they always do. a guy i met at my track has a 5.0 94 GT with a vortech blower.. he has made 400whp now with good tune and some supporting mods. ur car should be up over 500whp. his 5.0 somewhere near that if not over on the spray. i think it will be a close race. if your motor is in a thirdgen, then he has a slight weight advantage if your not gutted out

Its hard to say, I have seen a LOT of younger guys throw dumb things on cars to try and go fast and be cool, only to trash the motor real quick. Now whether this Mustang owner did that or built an A4 blocked forged motor with all the supporting mods who knows...
If he went through the effort to build the motor Im wiling to bet it has a good HCI, and couple that with the boost and the blower and he should be well over 500 rwhp and a TON of torque!

Race and find out, who knows how well a good headed and cammed 427 can do in a thirdgen, but you are up against a beast of a car

youll most likely win. when he hits the bottle, his stock block will split right down the middle more than likely.
