im guessing its got a controller and is running a decent size turbo.

those cars go silly fast with very little mods.

u will need a nice h/c/i setup or good shot of nitrous to give him a run. with supporting mods like gears, suspension, and tires.

I think a bone stock Grand National would blow your doors off, let alone a modded one. With just a boost controller, itll give a mildly modded 5.0L GT a good run. Now if hes got an aftermarket turbo, intercooler youll get smoked like nobodies business.

It all depends on how well it was maintained. With your mods it might be a good run.
