Default Can I keep up with a stock 5 speed hardtop gt?

I have an automatic gt convertible...and I was wondering if I could keep up with a stock hardtop 5 speed gt in the 1/4 mile with my mods. I have BBK UDPs, predator, 4.10s, K&n filter, SLP Loudmouth 1 catback, nitto dr's, and mobil 1 oil.

You should be able to walk a stock one with those mods. Especially if you decide to shift-kit+high stall converter that auto

you'll win, but what you really need is a stall!

I know nothing about stall converters and what purpose they serve...should I get one, and if so, what's the best?

my buddy put a stall on his car and it was like night and day! you can lunch your auto at 3K+ and the rpms never drop.
