Sorry but if he can drive you're going to get beat, badly.  It's an HCI LS1 so low 12's high elevens at 117-120 through the 1/4.  I think it's sad he had to go purchase DR's to run you.  Tell him no Dr's or no run, that is your only chance is if he spins.

If you don't have much time on the track. Here some tips 1) A 1/4 tank or less of gas, 7lb per gal. 2). Stage short ,just start to have the 2nd light on. 3) Launch on the last yellow light. "STAGGING SHORT WHEN LAUNCH ON YELLOW YOU HAVE 6in ROLL BEFORE THE GREEN GO ON". 4). Weight No Spare Tire, No PP Air pump, I have gone so far to take the mats and back seats out(40lb). My best time tune only is 12.669sec 1/4mi @ 59deg!!! HERE is a 2013 5.0 Mustang @ 85 deg I ran 12.74. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

Im pretty good at the track, i go at least 2-3 times a month when its open. No spare but I do keep the air pump (to air my tires back up when im done). My bane seems to be the inability to cut decent 60's, ive had a couple 1.7x but normally im in the 1.9x range. I blame the GY F1's, but this is a heavy car to get moving.

I dont think hes upgraded his heads, looking on his facebook it seems he bent some valves a couple months ago when his timing chain broke and installed the cam then but didnt have the $$$ for the heads so kept the stock heads, If im assuming right the stock heads are really limiting what that cam can give him. Im putting him at a high 12 in the 1/4. I think its going to be close and im hoping ill jump him hard enough on the line he panics and doesnt pedal it, that usually works against inexperienced guys with more power than me, at least it has with Cts-vs and a ZL1 i raced.

Goodluck.  Still a "cam only" LS1 are good for low 12's if he can drive.  I've known many LS1's to run mid 12's with free mods and full exhaust on stock rubber.  Really is going to depend on his driving.  What track are you guys running at?  Burleson, I'm guessing Kennedale(if its still open), or Denton.  Hopefully prep is poor.

yep Kennedale, and prep there varies greatly ive seen, if no event for the outlaws or anything, they hardly prep at all it seems, which could be in my favor since its just a TnT night

Ahhhh Kennedale..... Lived down by the shooting range there when I went to school in Ft. Worth.... didn't know they had a track.  Of course it's been thirty years. It was out in the boonies then.

Best of luck in your grudge race!

Is he running the cam without long tube headers?  Wouldn't make much sense having the cam without long tubes.  224 cam isn't that big at all, but it's got great low and mid range.  I'm wondering if has gears too.

'01 and '02's already had the ls6 intake manifold so not really a mod.

I'd love to see this.

Race postponed a few weeks now. Saw him run a best of 8.37 practicing. I'm pulling low 8.20s and the DA is still dropping.

His third pass he broke something in the rear had to be towed off the line.

Now order DP's ASAP.

He was still at the track but i do not know if he was watching, think he was more worried about getting his car back home.

Talked to him this morning he snapped his left axle shaft.
