???? how far did you race the first time? how far would you be racing on the strip? if were talking about an track with alot of corners, he's got you there if your car is stock being 1. his car is lighter 2. his is newer meaning typically he stuff is up to date when your stuff is degrading 3. he'll have much better brakes.

overall this thread is very confusing...

as long as you can get traction quick, he's toast. i could see him getting you from an roll, but once again if you can get traction you good. Might want to invest in an set of sfc's and and really sticky pair of tires!

BTW what rear end ratio do you have? im hopping 3.23 or lower. also do you have an 3in aftermaket y-pipe? if not GET ONE!

also where do you have your cai located at? reason i ask is most cai's people do dont actually help them because there just sucking in hot air.

So far it sounds like you have him covered. Not by much, but it doesn't take much to win either. Take it to the track see what happens.
