Well I will be making street tire runs and dr runs. I will pull the spare and tools that is 40lbs on top of all the weight reduction from the mods so about 100 lbs which for rule of thumb is good for 10whp being used.

I won't got that far I just had the 5w30 redline put in so I will stick with that, thanks for the advice though.

I would say it would be a rather close race. Was his friends a MT or AT?

His Camaro is a 6speed. Hopefully with all the factors of weight and my bolt on's it should be a pretty close race, honestly I think with me getting off the plane and going to the track the 1st day I actually drive my car he has the advantage. I don't expect to pull him that 1st weekend home but I hope the 2nd week I am home I will get it done if I didn't do it the first time.
