Default 1/4 challenge

So i got a challenge to run 1/4 mile against a 2003 infiniti g35 sedan online it says they run like a 14.68 and thats with a professional driver the kid wants to race for 500$ its completely stock and hes never ran 1/4 mile he almost deffinatly doesnt know you launch them when running the quarter... hes pretty clueless when it comes to cars id like to show him what cummins can do but i deffinately only wanna do it if i can almost deffinately win obviously. you can see what my trucks got in my signature it dynos at 326 id launch it with about 20lbs in 4wd of coarse has anyone whos had the same setup know what my truck would probably run i would take off my spare tailgate and be completely empty to be as light as possible what are your thoughts of my chances winning? im also considering throwing 191's in it since id still be making profit by putting them in (if i win) so whats your guys word or thoughts? thanks!

anyone have any tips? it all helps, thanks!

so i should invest 250 bucks on delivery valves before i make the 500$! ha sounds good to me, any tips on use of overdrive, loc up, and weather i shud leave it in drive or redline first and second?

and 191's are definately the way to go over 022 or 024...? specially with stock turbo....?

thanks a ton for the help im new to the 1/4 mile

Dont redline it before shifts; it'll be out of its power curve by then.
