I'd say those gears and DRs will do a world of difference for your car. Should have stepped up to 4.10s though.

I think you should run him again before you add any mods. Especially if you were catching him but had to let off.

Good run

Ohh dude, there's nothing left for you to do now, than to get one of those signboards that you wear, and write in big letters "I LOST TO A MUSTANG!" Put it on and walk back and forth on the sidewalk on the main street in your town and let people walk by and laugh at you!

At this point, I hope you know I'm just kidding around. Sounds like it's time for more mods!

If you where catching him, you had the faster car.
You just didn't have the proper traction.

Screw gears on a stock rear.
Get a Yank 3000 and some Nitto's or BFG's.

I would do the following:

Calm down, capitalize, and use punctuation.

Get real tires. Racing on bald tires is a great way to die. Ever hit a small triangular peice of plywood at 70MPH WOT on bald tires? They go pop pretty easy.

Put in the gears. Just know that you will eventually eat the stock rear diff. So you will be buying those gears again if you race from a dig a lot.

Race him again. Away from traffic. Racing with traffic is like racing at the strip without lights. IMHO it's kinda pointless. You dont get good runs in 98% of the time. Find a damn country road so that you get the room to really run them. There is also the not insignificant fact that you wont be killing innocent commuters if it does go south in a hurry.
