Default stang vs. stang

my friend and I always race, but he always wants to race from a roll, he can' launch for ****. he is completly stock and all I have is a CAI and upgraded spark plugs and wires but everytime we both floor it we're completly even. Is this right? he drives a 96 or 97. would i beat him if I were to get the pulleys by at least 1/2 car?

you have slightly more weight. if you got pulleys you may be able to edge him out.

if the ebay one works and installed fine, it would be a waste to get another one. you won't see any more gains. the UDPs will free up about 5-6 ponies.

do you have the top up when your racing because it makes a big difference with less weight in the back

Horrible deal. Keep your ebay one, it does about the same.

both the ebay one and the name brand one will yield the same results, so whats the differance? if yours fit nicely and it works then theres no reason to switch unless you wanna give ur buddy 100 bucks for free.
