Might be close if he is running more than stock boost. Do you have any track times? Key to it will be traction more than likely.

If you can get him from a roll, you will kill him. If it is from a stop, then it may be a bit more "sporting". My money would be on the LS1 either way.

You should win, depending on how much boost he's running. If it's a lot higher than stock, your in trouble. If it's a sub-6 lb increase, you should be fine. Make sure you get a good launch.
