Default Can I beat it?

There's this car at school who is gonna order or ordered a vortech supercharger, I beat the kid but I still feel like I have to be the fastest at school...Anyway, its a 2002? Mustang Gt with exhaust says maybe a cam? When I raced the car he was next to me in first I hit second and pulled about 2 cars and third hit and I was just gone What I'm getting at is how much hp will he push with that vortech and what do I need to beat him w/ it?

From what I have seen, I think stock internal GT's usually make around 370-380 rwhp. If you aren't cammed or dont have nitous you will probably lose. What are your mods? Bolt-ons will help but if he can drive they won't be enough.

yes 370-380 with most bolt-ons and a safe tune(bottom end will last 'till about 400rwhp)

I knew a guy back in high school with a similar gt that had a vortech supercharger, flowmasters, longtubes, and nittos. I'm pretty sure he ran a 13.5 at LACR. He wouldn't tell me his 60ft, or maybe he didn't know.

I think he's just going to slap it on and not take it anywhere to get tuned, doesn't the vortech come with a hand held tuner anyway?

Sounds like a bunch of question for the newbie section.
