A stock 89 Mustang runs a 15.1 sec 1/4.
Your car runs a stock 16.1 sec 1/4.

So if you wanna compete you've gotta somehow manage to gain a full second
at least to be competitive. If all your wanting to do is try and beat this guy once at the track, then I suggest lots of nitrous. Realize that nitrous is a weak substitute for daily driving, because you don't receive the benefit of the power. But to make your car run a full second faster on cheap mods just isn't going to happen, unless you completely gut your interior(down to nothing but sheet metal, including carpet and rubber lining), remove your air conditioner, cut the top off of your car, hood goes, trunk goes, doors go, all glass goes.... the works (go on a diet yourself). That could conceivably drop your weight by 700 or so lb... and then with nitrous you could definitely stand a chance.
I'm not trying to be an ass or anything. But it looks like you're looking for a cheap way to beat this guy, and the cheapest way to make power is nitrous, and the cheapest mod is weight reduction(free).
