you'll kick his butt... his 4 banger is slow and he has next to nothing done to it.... not trying to be mean, but he wont beat you...unless you fall asleep at the wheel and I am pretty sure that the '79 2.3 did not have anywhere near 145hp... thats what the v8 had then I think, you'll destroy him

I dont know what he has, other than a header done to it, plus, they were carbed back then too... unless he did a ton of work to it, you should own him, and even if he did, you'll prolly own him....

now if he had an svo, then it would be interesting....

I don't think he'll win unless he already has a turbo on it then he could of raised the boost... but still you should win..only an svo would give you hell!!!
