Default Will I lose?

Mods in sig vs. 96 A4, Lt1 (duh) with full bolt-ons (3.73 gears, full exhaust, headers, thermostat, intake, TB, hand ported cylinder heads, MSD ignition, etc.). I can always beat him by at least 2 car lengths, but he is getting a LT4 HotCam with CompCams "hydra-rev???" kit. Currently he has the ZZ3 cam, which I guess is more of a stump-puller. How will our race be after his cam change and if I lose how bad will it be? We usually race to about 115mph.

After 168 posts I would think that you would know where to post this. This isn't the kills section.

No one's ever in those forums, but if the moderator wants my post to be moved, I do apologize. Any responses?

Should be a very close race now.
He should be able to pull ahead down low, with you edging up at the top end.
If I'm not mistaken, a heads and cam LT1 should be anywhere within 330-370rwhp.
You're at full bolt-ons, probably around 330-340rwhp.
Different powerbands though.

I think you would take him. Ls1tech is the best site, but IMHO the best LT1 board out there is camaroz28.com
