alright guys this kid wants to race me. I raced him a while back and lost but he basically has a fully built race car im not sure what size the motor is but his last time at the track all motor was an 8.4 on slicks. I think the trap was about 83mph. On juice which i think was a 150 shot he ran a 7.7 at XX.XX he only ran that time once because his second run he sprayed again off the line a crack went the axle. Now i know my stang now wont run those times. But i am getting long tube headers for xmas and a few other goodies.

He wants to run with his nitrous hooked up though and i told him if he wants to run with a power adder then so am I. so my question is what do you guys think i should do to get myself down to these times?

1. 100 Shot of nitrous
2. mongoose kit from MPH
3. I dont think cams will help but i will put that out there anyways I would get vt stage 1s if thats the route i take.

His car is barely street legal it only passes inspection cause his dad owns the shop but its basically a race car. I also know that his car is geared mainly for the 1/8th mile so im taking him down to a 1/4 track cause his car tops out at 110 lol.

So which route do yall think i should take the nitrous would indeed be the cheapest though but we will see if my dad would let me do that. He just doesnt want me blowing up the car. He wants me to keep the original motor in the car so i cant blow her up. Im pretty confident that if i had slicks with the Lts i could probably get my car to a good 8.5 all motor at around 83 based on the times i have now on street tires.
 
i dont have the money right now for it but will over the summer and thats when the race is going down. Im pretty sure i could take him in teh 1/4 cause his car has 0 top end speed when i raced him before i had the tuner which was just the chip he still didnt do all that well against me he def beat me. I think with any supercharger i could get him. I think its funny though how this is his drag car and wants to race my daily driver. I told him if he wants to use nitrous he can race my 120hp 4cylinder.:nice: or heck he never specified where we should race and he challeneged me so i should take him on the twisties even having a mustang i still turn much better than that car lol.

I would just race him now and not really care if i lose but he wants to go for money and thats a load of bs if he wants to use cheater gas. thats why i should just spray a 100 shot and see what happens against him. I would just want to make sure i get all the safety equipment for it for an added precaution.
 
I would say it would be a damn good race if it was just an N/A race. Get youreself some sticky tires and drop those LT's in and possibly a tune to get the most of of youre bolt-ons and I think you should be right with him. Just gotta get that 60' down a little or you'll probably be playing catch up with him running the slicks.
 
yea i was actually planning on getting a dyno tune this summer after the Lts because my dads making me wait until the warranty runs out before i put any internal work into the car such as the cams. Im actually thinking about stayin NA and getting teh MPH 2.5 heads with some stage 2 cams so ive got some thinking to do.
