Default 94 LT1 vs. 04 CTS-V how bad will i lose?

I got a friend and his sisters boyfriend wants to run my 94 Camaro Z28 LT1 A4 (Edelbrock LT's, Magnaflow 3'' Catback, Holley 52mm TB, K&N CAI) against his 04 CTS-V (stock) how bad will he beat me or will the race be closer than i think?

You will get stomped. Many car lengths. Easy.

Your best shot is from a dig. Unless he's got tires and can drive, you'll probably yank him pretty good out of the whole because that generation CTS-V is not easy to launch and the A4 LT1's are pretty nasty from a dig (assuming you don't have 2.73s). Up top you're probably gonna get walked decently, but go from a dig in a marked 1/4 and his driving/traction will play heavily on the result.

My advice other than that: get tires and 3.42's or 3.73's in there, then a stall. All of that with what you have and there's no way he's catching you in the 1/4 on the street.

What gearing do you have now?

With 2.73s, no amount of lube can prepare you for the raping you will receive. As mentioned above, gears, tires, stall, and strip all excess weight out of the car. Also, pray he can't drive it.

Go from a dig and hope he can't slip the clutch well enough.
