Default Me vs r/t magnum

There's this guy at work that has a r/t magnum with I/h/e and says that I won't even keep up to him in any type of race. Is this true? (before I talk **** back I wanna know)

If done properly a 5.7 Hemi will respond to those mods similarly to a ls1. But his car also weighs a lot more.

Have you done any weight reduction? If you are under 3500lbs the HP gap will seem much narrower. If you had a stall I would think you could easily keep up and potentially beat him from a dig or 1st gear roll.

You need a 3600 stall something fierce.

The h in I/H/E stands for headers according to him. I just looked at the motor and it looks stock with the LTs. So again will it be a race now or would I still get walked?

You should walk him by a couple cars at least.

Get a stall and destroy him.
