Default Another "Me vs New 5.0"

This wkend I am running one of my buddys in his '11 GT. I have done some research on here an on youtube and it appears to be close, a drivers race, others say its not a driver's race and the the 5.0 has the edge. In my case, I know he has the edge, both cars have been on dynos and he has exactly 80 more rwhp than me, 340 vs 420 (I wasnt there, just what they told me, I believe it though). His only mod to my knowledge is some kind of catback (not sure what), all my mods are in my sig. I have raced many stangs and have yet to be beaten by one but I think this may be the one. I have been pestering him for a while to do this but he has been reluctant?? My car has been a best of 7.96 1/8 with a 1.8x '60ft, his best has been an 8.0x, dont know the '60.. However, my 7.96 was with MT ET streets and a 4k dump, his 8.0 was a roll out on street tires and 20" wheels.. There will be vids, dont worry lol. I guess I am wanting to hear predictions from GM and Ford crowds alike... Thanks

Will do, will probably be Saturday. I don't think I will have time to get the new tires on before then. Hope I can spank a LS1 from a dig now.
