gears, pulleys and a tuner should bring you close. Do you know what he has done to it?

the thing between your car and his is there isn't a drastic difference in horsepower, and if you get a tuner.. maybe 5-10 rwhp, pulleys are another 5 or so hp... then the gears will make it scream, and possibly an o/r midpipe and you should leave him.

You're lucky you got the PI... if I want to beat a mach one, I just gotta dream right now lo

yep. Then again don't quote me. I don't think it will make you smoke him, but you should pull from him

he has you by about 40rwhp...so get some cams/LT's and mid pipe along with a nice tune and you will take him...but 4V's respond well to mods so he can easily top you.

You will definately need gears. With that and LT's and mid-pipe, it would be a drivers race. I think Mach 1's run mid 13's. You could be slightly into the 13's w/ your mods... if you are a good driver. Pick up another half second or so.

I dont see a CAI in your sig, so remove the air silencer and get a K&N, if you havent already.
