Default Cammed 3v... Should I be worried?

So I get a phone call the other night from my friend. "Hey, Justin is up here. He got a new Mustang and its f*cking mean. He said he's gonna whoop your slow *** Camaro." After conducting some research, he has a 2007 GT, cammed, full bolt-ons, 2800 stall, Nitto radials, tuned. He said it should go 12.0-11.8. My Camaro has already gone 12.0 @ 115 with a 1.7 60", off the spray. I've already beaten dozens of these things, but this is a true Ford guy that has had it out for me since high school. So what does it take for an auto 3v to break into 11s?

Off the spray, I bet it's a good race.

That said, don't even give him the chance, spray him for good measure.

A friend with full bolt ons, a 3400 stall, 3.73's, a tunes, and M/Ts runs a 7.8-8.0 in the 1/8th mile, not sure what that transfers to in the 1/4. It's also not cammed.

I might, but i'm not sure if my 150,000 mile 4l60 is gonna like that. Last time I sprayed it on the highway the trans overheated and started to leak. I'd really like to beat him all motor. The way I see it: I have more power, less weight, bigger converter. I've beaten boosted 3v 'stangs in the past. I almost beat a GT500 from a roll, but I had a lot of weight in the car.

You should be able to take him unless he dead hooks and you spin from a dig. He should be making anywhere from 330-360rwhp depending on what cams he chose. But damn a cammed 3v sounds ******* mean

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

What happened with this?

My prediction... He hooks better or dead hooks and you spin... He wins because you guys stop before you have time to play catch up.

Man up and run a motor to motor race. Everyone who has spray hides behind it like little bitches.

^That's right up there with complaining about turbos, superchargers, or more cubic inches. Might as well complain when people aren't running the exact same setup.

That's a pretty ignorant statement, and is best summed up by the quote below.
