my friend and I ( who sadly to say, has a rice burner) are having a very heated debate. Theres is no question in my mind, no matter wut he says, that i would absolutly leave his *** in a race, but when i threw in the prospect that my car was running 2 to 3 times more horsepower than his, he didn't like it. So now i'm asking you what ur best guess is at the horsepower this motor is putting out: 302 bored 40 over, 10:1 compression, roller cam, performer rpm intake, holley 650 double pumper, headers, and cooling system upgrades all around. The more replys the better. Thanks.

I don't really know, 300, 320-ish?

Anyhow, the real question is what does your friend drive?

my friend drives a mitsubishi lancer with like most rice burners, no real performance upgrades, pretty much just a foregin car with a fart tube hangin out the back. Your guess was fairly close to mine as to my hp, so not only am I 2-3 times more than his 130-ish, i also have a positraction rear end with 4.62 gears and 11 inch tires. I'm just waiting for the day that he accepts my invite to the track. lol.

well dont underestimate a ricer but i mean with no mods yeah im pretty sure you'll smoke it but then again you could get smoked "its not about the car, its about the driver"ive seen a few cars that were tuned and moded and they got smoked by a stock import so i mean its usually depends but in this matter im guessing you'll pretty much smoke the living cr*p out of it. but you got to give ricers props. i even seen sum stock lancer smoke sum ish if u know what i mean. How about this instead of arguing and debating why dont u put u and ur friends car to the test and see who is the dominating one and you'll prove ur friend wether u can smoke him or not. AND HOPEFULLY U WILL SMOKE HIM LOL IF HE SMOKES YOU WOW..........JK BUT DO WHAT I SAID PUT IT TO THE TEST AND TELL US THE RESULTS!!!

lol, his lancer would get smoked!

I know so many kids like that, you tell them, "ok then, lets race"

then they make up excuses, don't sweat it man, you have the faster car. no worries.

Depending on your car & engine year and what gears you have, I would guess 315-330, you would smoke his *** off the line, depending on what gears you have would matter if he caught up, because those cars have good top end, but if by chance he caught you the race will have been over
