One of my biggest pet-peeves is guys who do bragging-bullsh*t about everything all the time.... like they think you're stupid .... or else they're just really insecure.
See if you can get him to put his money where his mouth is. I think it's a pretty safe bet that he's not getting close to 400hp with that car.

Assuming that all he did was bore it .030 over, add a mild street cam, Edlebrock intake manifold & headers hes probably looking at around 240ish at the wheels... Even still, its a 1980.
I never in my life seen a early 80's camero blow away anything unless it was a Escort. The 80's camero's didnt start getting hot until 1986 when the IROC Z28 came out with the TPI 350V8 with 220hp. Not much by todays standards, but 220hp was A LOT back in the mid 80's...
Go race the chump, have him put his money where his mouth is...

I think my old 86 Berlinetta Camaro with the 305 would probably keep up with him lol! That is if I still had it.
Oh nice! That's really close! I probably have seen you around then since there's rarely any Bullits in the area. If you ever see a red GT with a blacked out decklid and a Starfleet Academy Alumni license plate holder, that would be me!
Quick question. Would I have to replace the stock block itself if I want to go over 400hp? Or would it be fine with a forged rotating assembly? Also, what type of cams would work with a blower?
