Default Going after a friends RT. need suggestions

Raced him a few months ago. From a 20 and a 40 roll he put a solid 2-3 between us. Both cars had passengers.

mods:
07 ss with k&n panel filter
06 charger rt cai,tune,mufflers,tb spacer

my car as ran a 14.65@96

I would say his car a a solid 4 mph on me. Im wondering if a DP and tune would level it out?

I think a catless DP and a tune would do you a whole lot of good.

I believe he just has mufflers and resonator deletes. I thought I read that doing mufflers on the impala ss was no real gain?

I need to look into the ls6 swap to find out what all is needed to do it.

You said he has a tune and a cai, as well?

LS6 swaps aren't easy. https://ls1tech.com/forums/ls4-front...ng-closer.html

With a tune, intake and exhaust u should be able to beat him. i lost against a R/T with the road and track package (has the daytona exhaust, racing seats, better gearing and more horsepower than the regular r/t). i lost by a half of a car length but thats when i first got the car it took me a while to get used to it.
