A 150hp shot of gas? That'd be the quickest and easiest method. Sounds like he is doing the things to get good weight transfer, which is going to make his car leave better. If it were me, I'd do the nitrous. Leave on motor, then as you shift in to second spray him. Done deal.

i was thinking get some M/T drag radials and subframe connectors...take off the front sway bar and front and rear bumper supports, relocate my battary and take out spare tire and jack and take out my back seats and i could beat him since my car is lighter anyway and he spins cuz he has pirellies (sp)...what do you guys think ?

If it were me I would do a 3600-4000 converter and tires, if you have the money get a tune... It will take a lot for him to beat you with that.. Granted he keeps the same converter in it.
If you don't like that.. LTs ORY cutout, tires, lid, intake..
The converter and tires will be about the price as the other options, but the converter will be the BEST bang for the buck by FAR.
