Default My Bird vs 3V GT

I have a buddy that thinks his car is really fast and I would like to whoop up on his mustang... I wanna hear what yall think!

I've got a 96 Formula, when we race my mods/his mods will be...

Firebird:
-CAI
-Longtube Headers
-(2) 26" Powerstick mufflers ran off each header, dumped.
-Crank Underdrive pulley
-4.10's
-Shift kit
-1.6rr
-MadZ28 tune
-LCA's
-Drag Radials

06 Mustang GT (5spd):
-CAI
-o/r x pipe
-Bassani cat back
-Bama Custom Tune
-Short throw shifter
-4.10 Gears
-LCA's

I think that's all for both.. He is a pretty good driver just a FYI.

So what y'all think, will the lt1 take him from a dig? What about a 40 roll?

He probably has more power than you but with your drag radials you should get him at the track if you can drive.

From a roll you are probably toast.

You dont need a 3600 with stock heads and cam... A 3200 or 3400 would do the job just fine.

I sold the car and the stall separately, but I just recently bought the car back.

You got any parts for sale Lawhead, you always got something in the classifieds! Lol
