From a digg or roll? You should pull him, those gt-40 heads are killing him.

Depends on what boost he is pushing if it's a stock block that's just been punched to 306 he maybe pushing 350 is

Weight is a factor to you may have 50-60 hp but he has 400 lbs on you.

I walked my buddy's gutted 331 stroker that had h/c/I slicks stall etc etc but only after I hit 3rd and that was in my boss so with a blower on his it could be a drivers race

I raced my old fox that had similar mods back in 2011. My car was a intake, or-x, and tune car at the time. It put down 430 and the fox put down 450 on the same dyno. We were neck and neck from what I could tell but he says he was starting to pull on me slightly.

Here's a video of us at the track.

Should beat him IMO - my A6 with drag radials dead hooks from a dig on the street so I beat a lot of cars I shouldn't.

Roll race is a different story.

Buddy had same combo, ran 11 teens all day, if he's a good driver he will more than likely wack you. Better strap in a bottle

The fox could be 12's to 10's. Being a 5-speed anything could go wrong

you should take him. Coming from many foxy bodies, that car might make about 430 rwhp on like 8-10 lbs of boost. Many of my friends have had similar setups and went 11.80s @118. If your car dead hooks, you should take it. Cast iron gt40 heads suck, and hes probably running a gt40 intake, which also sucks. Probably also has an alphabet cam, they too suck. Theres a reason everyone is removing the 302 pushrod and replacing them with lsx based engines lol. That being said, anything can happen!
