Can you hit up a track for a couple of practice runs before you race him?

Go ahead and get the DV's, but I would definately try to get a turbo upgrade before too long.

 

track doesnt open untill march 9th thats when we race if i can save up the extra bills by then ill be gettin a turbo, yea i already planned on pulling tailgate spare all the seats toolbox, headache rack, ill probaly put only five gallons or so in. and haha yea i tried to race him for more so i could try and get a turbo or at least half of one out of it but o well 500s good too, do you guys think ill need dv's to beat him kuz i already running pretty hott how much power will i see out of those dv's on a stock turbo its got the stock 181's in it now.. thanks

 

get some practice, if you can't get onto a track, figure out a 1/4 mile, get someone to start you and time you. If you know you can do the time to beat him, then all you have is RT to screw you up. Keep in mind that car has traction control, etc, and it'll be hard for him to screw up his launch.
Double check that car is stock though. People are running closer to high 13s in real life than what the brochure says.

 

good luck in your race, it sounds like its gonna be closer than you think. Make sure you get a video of the race when you do it.

 

good luck on your race.... but i think you should get bigger then 191s if im not mistaken a 97 truck had about the same in it from the factory, i would suggest that you get laser cut DVs

I'd disagree on laser cuts especially with a stock turbo. Your going to be waaaaaay overfueled.

 

x2 191 is plenty. lc on stock turbo is pointless.

 

No plate, 370s, and laser cuts with a stock HX35? All that would probably choke that little turbo out.

 

Yea 191's are biggest I'm going on stock turbo how much power am I even looking to get out of the
191s

 

you need more air bottom line! wish i could race him in mine, that would be priceless
