Similar power, but I would say #1 mainly because of the lighter wheels (assumming they're street cars with little/no weight reduction).
Then again peak hp numbers don't tell you a whole lot, if #2 has nicer hp/tq curves it could still win. Run 'em and let us know

I was just thinking street tires VS drag radials alone would make the difference.
In all honesty, the driver is everything. I've seen 600+ HP cars run in the 12's
