I think he should run Pewter02TA, just to see how he'll hang with a cam car.

Car in question has Mac's, Borla, and of course a lid/filter.

It'd probably be a good race, if homeboy takes the bottle out(we all know he'll win on the juice.)

7.80's @ 89 mph is my guess. This depending on traction. No traction=8.1's at a similar mph.

That car isnt even close to being setup on motor...Its a nitrous setup to the T. A glide, tight nitrous converter. Put up some dope on the other car to even it up. No reason to take something off one car. Run whatcha brung. Its easier to add then to remove
