the 97' Maxima:
190 hp
----------
97' Maxima
190 hp 205 torque
weight: 3001
pw/weight ratio: .063
88' 305 TBI
170 HP 255 Torque
weight: 3121
pw/weight ratio: .054
I would say the Maxima would win... you would pull on it from the start... but it would probably get ya top end... and that's everything stock for both cars

Id say just race it anyways, you can always use some higher octane fuel to give yourself a little more power.

espically tbi's sure you can spend lots of money on them and stuff there plenty of guys in the lo3 board with lo3's making power but in the long run its just not worth it in my opinion

Loved my tbi and also love my lb9 so to be 17 years of age I think its good for me not to make 700hp with a massive built 350.

I think it will be a tight race
Race him and find out....
It will be won in the launch, so make sure you practice and hook it up and get ahead!

My friend has a 2000 with the 3.0 and from a roll he pulls away hard. Tune your ride if you haven't already and start from a dig. Good luck.
