RE: 3.8 vs 5.0
What year 3.8? If it's a 99-04 it should be a pretty good race. My best friend has an 03 with just full exhaust and a shift kit and it'llgive a 5.0 a run for it's money.If it's a 94-98 you're gonna slaughter him.

You still havent raced this punk? I remember it though, cat backs(which are crap on anything, IMO) a CAI and i think short throw? If he can drive and his car is in good shape, should be very close race. It's all up to him, he has a lot more driving to do than you do.

You're going to stomp a mud hole in that little 3.8's ***. I was at the track this friday bracket racing and all of the 3.8 new edges were runninglow17'd, hell even the 4.0 S197's were running high to mid16's, there was a mostly stock fox 5.0 AOD car that I saw click off a low 16 (don't forget that I'm at a very high altitude and these times are way different than you sea level guys). My car when it had a few bolt ons ran a 15.6 up here in thefoothills lol. You have nothing to worry about.
