So I would disgree with you on them being overrated.
Nice kill. Watch out for him on race gas. Find out what turbo and injector setup he is running.

Does he have a stock intercooler, or a front mount? Those make a huge difference. You can chew him down. A couple of 'botched' runs with him and he'll get heatsoaked (if it's a stock SMIC). Just a little something for you to ponder. 
On race gas, around 320 at the wheels is possible.
Of course I got greedy, got a HUGE turbo and disintegrated one of the connecting rods. That's the weak point on those engines.
Good luck with the next race. Represent the LS1 community and beat him. Please.
