Default 99 T/A vs 96 Formula

I have a 99 T/A with the following mods: A4 to M6 swap, 3" pacesetter long tubes, and SLP loundmouth 2 system. This guy that I work with has a 96 Formula A4 with a chip. He said he bought it like that so he doesnt know what kind of chip it is. I've never driven or raced an LT1 car, but I was under the impression that I should easily beat him(unless I forget how to drive overnight and miss every gear or something). Am I missing something here?

I'm def not knocking the LT1 sir, I just think I have the upper hand on this one. I also told him to come to Virginia Motorsports Park and run me one weekend, but he refused! I can't stand it when people talk **** but won't back it up!

Nope. It sure didn't and probably never will. He actually went to Virginia Motorsports Park this past Friday night, but bitched out and didn't take his bird up there. I told him on Thursday at work that I would meet him up there and run him but he refused once again. And he still won't stop talking ****.

Lol. I wish I had asked him that when he first told me about it. He couldn;t even tell me what kind of "chip" it is. He's just one of those dudes who's **** is always better than yours no matter what. I also work with one of those dudes who always knows a dude who's **** is better than yours lol.
