Exclamation i Need an Immediate response

OK..well i have a 98 SS now with ported and descreened MAF ends, smooth bellows, slp air lid, no catalytics, and B&B Tri-Flo exhaust...in a couple hours i might run it with an M3 2003 stock. What are my chances of winning...and should i race him from a rolling start in first gear at 15 or 20 mph or at what speed and gear?

the new m3s probably run a bit faster than a 98 ss, but with your mods you should pull out a win.

Nope. Just about even.

You've got some mods, so run him and see what happens. Is it a vert? If so, definitely run him.

Good luck, post the result here.
