If he only beat you by two cars with the 305, chances are you'll be neck and neck with him with an L98 car.
In reality, it's all gonna come down to the driver.

Like I said, it should come down to the driver.
We can sit here all day and debate which car would be faster, but that doesn't mean that you are a better driver that the guy with the SRT4.

dont worry about N2O. Do some mild bolt ons to get a bit more power and practice your abilities at the track before you race him.

I hear you, I'm not questioning your ability, just saying that after you do some work to the car and you're making more power, you should get a few runs under your belt to get a feel for how the car has changed before you go heads up.

OK racing is a sport and in sports not everybody plays by the same rules - bracket racers heavy, street, and super pro, and all of nhra for that fact try to snooker the other guy they almost always lift off the gas ( DRAGING THE BRAKE ) < the real term - to the other guy who is slower soooo if money comes in to it and it will you might be a target sooooo do all what you think you will need before a re match than you will have a 1/2 a chance of compeating apples to apples -- jz

you said he beat you by 2 car lengths.. what were the actual times? contrary to popular belief, real racing is measured in tenths not lengths..
in order for us to give you a better idea, we have to knwo what his car runs.

If you ran him on the street, you can only guess that he would have you by 2 cars at the 1/4.. he could have had you by 2 cars an 1/8 mile into it, you don't know if you both took off at the same time, is his car stock? i've seen srt-4s that are VERY quick.. sounds like too many variables that you don't know to be able to put any money or bragging rights on a stock 350..

racing is about being quick, not fast. work on chassis and gearing and even if he manages an equal or little better power to weight ratio you will kill him.

Skip the LT1 cam....it's not much bigger than an L98 cam to make it worthwhile.

Just remove it for the race and then put it back on....it's only 6 bolts.
BTW, I hope that you are planning on racing him at the track this time.
