1.) Gears and a limited slip differential
2.) Tuner
3.) Tunable wet shot of N2O

You should be there and some or:

1.) Gears and a limited slip differential
2.) Tuner
3.) Cold air intake
4.) True dual exhaust
5.) Underdrive pulleys

That should put you pretty even with him, if not beating him.

I was jokin man . Hes got about 410 crank hp so I think i might just go with a 2 stage noz system with a progressive controller, 410's and a locker. Maybe I will be somewhat close. What shots should i use on n20? I know ford blocks are weak so maybe 25 and 50?
