Default 1989 408 stroker firebird

Aright, There is a kid at my school that has a 89 fire bird with a 408 stroker in it (not forged and not sure about the compression ratio). The cam is not to radical and I think he has headers and an exhaust system and a intake and that about raps up his mods. What kind of power do you think he is putting to the wheels being a stick? Will I be able to keep up with him with my Camaro that has a few Bolton’s?

I know threes a lot I do not know about his motor but I need to know were I stand and I have a feeling it is a piece of **** but I can't be for certain.
