Everyone here says the ????s are slow, I think they aren't and hate me all you want, but my money is on him.
My car pulls much better @ 30 because it kicks down to first. If yours is the same, tell him you'll do it from 30

at 30 mine will not kick down to 1 i wish it wold though, i am going to tell i will run him from a 40 roll if he runs me from a 20 roll which puts me a 4500 rpm in 1st. 40 roll is 3300 rpm in 2nd. the guy in the neon beat my buddies 98 z28 which is stock by a 1 1/2 cars

screw letting the tranny kick down....manually downshift that fugger into the gear you want. Don't tell you're doing roll racing in OD!?!?! 
you should be even with or a bit faster than a stock LS1 with your mods.
Run him from 40 in 2nd gear, nail it, shift into D as to not have the car bang the limiter and put some lengths on him. You're car is prolly making in the 290s rw, and weight doesn't matter from a roll...mass in motion.

3.73's a 3000 stall and Longtubes?.?.?
I don't know anything about the skittles but you should be a high 12 with good hook.
Tell him if youre going to agree to race from a roll, you also want a dig race. Thats fair.

yea that sounds fair to me too, and i mean that in first it would be like 5800rpms at 30 in 1st. my car ran 8.42 before weight reduction and 3000 stall and shift kit so i think i should get a stock ls1 by a 2 or three cars easy but i dont know

Ah, I didn't read the first post that far LOL I just saw specs and passed it off for some reason. I'm retarded, I know
I think you should take him, but it might be a good race. He is right, those ????s don't get traction.

Get you some stickies tho. 3.73s and a stall aren't a street tire friendly combo!Don't forget the stall doesn't only help you launch the car at a higher rpm, it will also give you a better shift extension...keep the RPMs up a little higher after shift.
You should hand this guy his skittle-ly *** with ease!

They forgot to tell you the neon is on the bottle but he only uses it for real close races & he can't hit the juice down low like from a dig thats way he wants to PUNCH from 30 MPH !

My ls1 cut a 8.4 with my mods in sig. I don't see ur buddies ls1 being stock running a 8.4 although it is possible with sticky tires. Either way I think you will pull on him but if the race gets into the 100's he will pull back even and begin to leave.
