Default What would the outcome be?

This guy with a 2001 Mustang Cobra Convertable wants to race me. His mods are:

Edlbrock upper and lower Intake
75MM Throttle Body
Under Drive Pully
Chip (Diablo)
4.10 gears
ET Streets or Nittos (Not sure which he will be using)
Cobra R Tranic Trans
100 or 150 Shot Dry
Rouch Exhaust
No cats
possibly long tube headers
and possibly a few other mods im missing

Around what would his 1/4 mile time be and trap speed?

He said he runs somewhere around 13.3 without the n20. I dont know if there is much truth to what he says though.

Will i be able to beat this guy with my mods. Which are in my sig. My nittos are getting pretty bald

Any idea of what he might run in a 1/4?

I can get high 11's with my setup in the quarter, but if he does any better he will take me.

I ran him the other day with all his mods except his n20. Me on street tires and NO nitrous. I beat him by 2 cars 3 different times me on street tires. So i think me on nittos and an 85 shot should make for a good race vs his 4.10's, Nittos, and 100 or 150 shot. Wouldnt u say?

My buddy has a 94 cobra with almost the exact same mods except 3.73's. On a 1.6 short time he runs 11.80 @ 116. It'll be close let us know.

Was he running a 100 or a 150 shot?

100 or 150 shot?

Choose one, because it will make a difference. I say the race will be close enough to be a driver's race, so eat your wheaties.

I agree, if he's doing the 150 shot, it's going to be close. 100 shot, and still not enough power to take you.

I'm running an 85 shot. Because anything higher i get detonation. I might bump it up to 100 shot and put some 100 octane gas in there. Would this be a 50/50 mix with 91 octane or do i just put straight 100 octane in there?

He mentioned hes going to run either the 100 or the 150 shot.
