More like near 400 hp. I have a blower fox with crappy (yet ported) E7's and I still made 397 rwhp on 15 psi. 12.6 @ 112 is pathetic for a car with a blower.

Very true, JD. I watched a Fox go 12.0 over and over again one Sunday afternoon with a stock motor, stock suspension, and DRs, using a Procharger, Uknown boost, ran hot every third run or so. No headers, nothing.

I think your mising my point. You offer him what ever race he wants even stating "pick the race where you have the best chance of winning" Then what can he say when you let him pick and he still loses.
I get what you're saying but he hasnt challenged me or claimed he could beat me. I wanna go up to him and challenge himto a race. I would like to say you+me from a dig(if that was most favorable) and then hopefully win haha

I know I've been told I'm shifting too soon. WOuld shifting later bring up trap speed at the track???(or in a race). And 6800!? Your're not worried of overevving?

there's a BIG differece between 6 and 15psi! He just had the base powerdyne kit-untuned i think. Also like I already said this was a budget package. Could have just been an E cam-nothing special. I'll have to ask him

6800 is fine. The Machs have the RPM limit set at 6800 from the factory. The S197 can hold it. If it didn't make power that high then it would be pointless, but since it does and its safe, its pretty common. Your trap speed will definitely increase if you shift higher. Try it sometime man.
As far as this race goes, I still say take him from a dig. You WILL hook better and leave harder than him, imo. His top end (+70-80 mph) is his advantage.
*EDIT*
Correction, I'm an idiot!! Just looked at my dyno sheet. Its 6500, not 6800. Sorry.

397rwhp is very good for those mods, but 15psi is 15psi.
I was going say 400rwhp but I have seen some pretty awful numbers before and didn't want to hear some story about their buddy only making 371rwhp.

... if you don't win you need driving lessons, if he's stock.
+1
I say go from a dig, you shouldn't have too many problems with him in any of those. But, going from a dig will be the biggest difference because he just got the car and wont know how to launch.

I agree, your best bet is from a dig. You weigh less than him and LS1s pull hard on the top end.
