Default CAM only T/a vs. 351w foxbody

Just curious to what yall think would happen in a roll race between my car and a buddies. Maybe 40-100?

Mine:
2000 T/A M6 404/382 on a dynojet weighs 3480lbs
G5x3 Cam, Stock 241 heads, LS6 intake


Buddies:
1989 Mustang 351w 5 speed 342/389 on a dynojet weight unknown (full interior)
351w bored .030over, b303 cam, gt40 heads

I know I'm making more peak horsepower.. but he makes slightly more torque. And foxbodies are light.. What do ya think?

I think you got him - no issue. Honestly - that's a poorly setup 351. H/C/I setup makes a world of a difference for 351's. B cam sucks and gt40 heads are choking the crap out if it. If he was setup properly - you'd be in trouble but based on the info given; with equal drivers, you'll get him especially on the top end.

Your buddy has a "bottom of the barrel" heads/cam 351W. He'd have a much easier time doing a 1/4 mile dig race. Considering his 351 probably peaks around 5200rpm, your top end is gonna give him hell.

I think he will hang with you for a bit, but I bet you will pull him on the high end
