That combo should be good for mid-low 13s. What rear end gearing are you running?

Same here, if you got better than 2:73s I say you'll take him with ease.

If you are really making 330hp, you shouldnt have too much to worry about. I would expect mid/low 13's with that kind of power in a thirdgen.

This is sounding repetetive, but with your mods you'll take him pretty easily.

Me too, i think you have a really good chance of beating him, make sure you get a good launch and you'll take him.
