Facing a supercharged Corvette in a 96GT reminds me of light-weight 165lb champion facing a a 250lb heavy weight champion. In other words, its going to be an uphill fight and the odds are against you. As Kilgore Trout suggested, we need to know the mods on both of these vehicles first. Personally, if you don't have at least the PI headswap, I don't think you're going to win with just 3500 dollars of parts. Not unless if you don't care about blowing your motor apart and run a 300 shot of nitrous or something.
