Default edged by a formula

my buddy and i were out joyriding in our boulevard cruisers going to a friends house when we decided to get a few runs in. my mods are in my sig and his mods are ::99 NBM M6 Formula
Texas Speed 224 r cam, Prc Stage 2.5 5.3 Heads Milled to 59cc , LS6 Intake, Pacesetter Longtubes, true duals with moroso spirals dumped, UD Pulley, PP Throttle body, slp lid, TR6 Plugs, LS7 Clutch Kit...............i ran him all motor and did not spray. we went from about a 55 roll and both hit it in 2nd gear, through 3rd he put about a half car on me and almost through 4th where we shut it down at 120 he had about 3/4- 1 car on me. his car is untuned though, not since his cam install, he recently got the heads put on. i thought i held up nicely. i have never pushed my car that hard before as i was taking her well over 6 grand with every shift and actually felt my tires bust loose a bit when i slammed it into 3rd and 4th. what do u guys think??

I think he might be confusing you for an LS2 goat.
Either way, honorable death.
