The mustang is s/c says he's putting down 500 rwhp an can run a consistant 7.4 in an 1/8 has 3.73 gears is a manual trans with (street tires I think)
I have a 2000 Z-28 LS1 bolt ons are U/P , LT, 3500 stall, /ls6 intake , PP TB, free ram air mod, ultra z-hood, ORY, Will take out the spare tire an jack, front sway bar, the A.I.R an EGR has already been deleated.
Whats my chances, How will this turn out?

You need some pretty significant mods to put down 500rwhp in a 4.6 besides just a blower. Let's pretend that he does make 500rwhp. With street tires, he's not going anywhere. A great way to find out if they're bullshitting or not is to ask them specific questions like

"What brand/trim of supercharger are you running?"
"How many pounds of boost?"
"What's the compression?"
"Have you had it dyno-tuned?"
"Can I see under the hood?"

If they can't answer questions like that, they probably don't know what the hell they're doing or are just flat-out lieing.

With a stall and bolt-ons, you'll likely embarass the hell out of him.

You might need some giggle juice. I guess it just depends on drivers....

A properly set up H/C ls1 should walk the mustang pretty easy. Run him now to see how you compare and go from there. You may not need to do as much as you think!

I ran a 8.2 with bad reaction time and bad 60' time, the reaction was like a .65 an 60' was like 2.05, I have a new set of rims and tires coming tomorrow, with drag radials. I think with those I should get a 7.8-7.9 easy, What do yall think? I'm still running 2.73 gears, with 3.73 what do you think I can get? I also don't have a tune yet.

reaction time doesn't count towards ET

If you ran 8.2 with a 2.05 and can get a 1.8 60ft you should run some 7.7-7.8s. If he is serious about his consistent 7.4s you will come up short.

tune might help a touch and gears probably won't gain you much of anything

I imagine gears will help with your 60 ft time. Tune could give more HP. Mine picked up a good bit going from LS1 to LS6 intake and bolt-ons. I would race before H/C. 500 rwhp is a lot for that motor, but anything is possible.
