Well, he's got around 100 rwhp on you ....
I would say stay away from him from a slow roll (15-40), but you should take him from a dead stop or a faster roll (65ish or so) where your weight/aerodynamic advantage should help you out. I honestly think this is going to be a close race or possibly even a losing battle. Try to get the guy to spill what he thinks or actually does run in the quarter ... that should give you a basic idea of what your up against.

I don't know either man, I saw an article in super chevy, and someone correct me if i'm wrong cause i can't find the magazine right now, but they put a supercharger on a new ss silverado which is gonna weigh a lot more than a standard cab silverado, and it wasn't putting near that much rwhp, but they had it runnin mid 13's I believe in the quarter, granted its AWD though. I know with my truck which it probably puttin around 400 maybe more out at the rear wheels (know its close to 500 at the fly-wheel), I smoked my Z28 but only when we were rolling above 20 or 30 miles an hour cause its impossible to hook it up, I'm sure he'd have the same problems. Good luck though, its more than likely gonna all come down to the driver.

i talked to the guy again and he said that a friend of his in oklahoma or something has the same setup minus the longtubes and had slicks on his truck and it ran a 12.6 this guy has the d1sc not the p1sc so his lowend is much much better than any other ati procharged truch, not only that but i have seen him just MASSACRE lightnings modded and stock. this should be good lol, this is one bad *** truck

Good luck. I think that I think it depends on who gets off the line the best. Make sure you are the best driver. But if you race him from a fast roll I think it will be all your race. Let us know what happens.

I have seen a truck with a S/C and n2o and a cam with all bolt-ons run an 11.7x. If a LS1 had all of those mods it would be low 10's. My point is he has some stuff on his truck but it is a TANK. I think you could take him (if you can drive) in any situation.

just some advice..
trucks barley have any weight in the back, so launching from a dig is going to be your advantage.
I think from slow roll, you will be toasted because he will be at perfect level where he still retains the low-midrange pull... but also retains his traction.
video tape it!
goodluck

well it went down today, we found this really long dry road i have no idea how, i was with my friend in the SS and off the line we took him but as soon as we hit like 40 he came creeping up but we beat him by half a length.. although the second time he beat us by half a length, and from a 20 30 and 40 roll he MASSACRED the SS lol i mean like 5 or 6 cars, that truck is fast, then we called a friend of ours with a lightning and said this guy was calling him out and the lightning got SPANKED in every way, it was really fun..... we shut down at like 120 or so on all the races... that is one bad freakin truck. and its an auto
