Default 1st official race back home and need advice

Ok like title says i need some help.

Dude wants to race me in his 350z after he installs his mods. I need to win this big time!

His mods or atleast what he told me is:

13:1 compression, race gas, 125 shot, some weight reduction, full exhaust, cam and heads.

Im making around 400whp. What do i need to win i was thinking 150 shot but im not sure. Ive never raced a car like his and not sure what they are capable of.

I wouldnt recommend asking people here. Ask a reputable builder of 350zs. If that car is done right and he can drive. Id imagine he would give you a beating...but thats never actually the case. Just sauce it up with a 150 shot and leave nothing on the table

Just keep running him until he breaks something, then you win by default. Tell him you want a dig, 15mph roll, 30mph roll, 45mph roll, 60mph roll, etc.

Or better yet, mod up with heads/cam and make him go back to the drawing table.

I think even a H/C LS1 wouldn't be enough to beat a 400hp engine with a 125 shot. The OP is definitely going to need some NO if he wants to hang with this guy. I think the determining factor here will be his budget.

Ran a stock 350 and they are MEAN out the hole. Don't know how well they respond to internal mods but if he's making close to 400 you're done.

I'm pretty surprised that 3.5 can take such a big shot without kaboom. You'll probably want to throw a shot on there just in case, unless he is talking out of his ***.

Which it sounds like sort of, race gas and head/cams on a 350z lol

Ah, I misread.

Put a 100-150 shot of nitrous on it, run him on motor first to gauge where you're at and to get his confidence up, then when you run him a second time, flip the switch on and see if you can't blow his doors off.

I think the 150 shot will assure your win

If it has 13:1 compression. Its safe to assume its a full built motor top to bottom
