GTP's are supercharged. You're not beating one.

from what i can find they run like 14.9-15.1 in the quarter, so it would take a lot. the new GXP's will run low 14's

oh and im not sure what mods get you to what times so i cant comment on exactly what is needed...sorry

Depends on how fast his specific car actually is... but let's say it runs high 14's.

It also depends what car you have...

If you're a 5-speed 99-04, then you can probably catch him with most of the bolt-ons, t-loc, and gears. OR, you can just go with Heads/Cam or F/I.

Bolt-ons might not be enough if you're auto depending again on how fast HE really is.

There are a lot of variables that we can't account for... so it's tough to say without clearing some of them up.

I had heads/intakes, intake, pulleys, 4.10's and shiftkit and stayed even, then when i got in third i pulled. It was a 01 with "CAI"<haha, "Racing tires" and "3 computer chips". The heads and intakes i ported. This wasnt a one time thing either. Went to school with him and whoever could make it from our home school, to out trade school.... well just wanted to beat eachother.
