ok im really sick of people asking me why they coudnt beat this other person even though they have a CAI, exhaust and headers. do you people have any idea of what difference those mods make? on our already well built and decent flowing engines all 3 of those mods together yield a MAXIMUM of 20hp. not the advertised 15+hp per item.. it just doesnt work that way. those mods might bring your quarter mile time down like 0.2 seconds.. those are just starting mods. they are not there to make the difference in a close race. so dont expect even that header youre getting to help very much. my friends are the same way.. they get a CAI and think they can smoke everyone. then when they cant smoke other people they come to me crying and asking why.
the only advice i could give you is that yes in a 1/4 mile im almost positive that you could beat her. you have a much better top end. but understand most street races never last that long. and also try holding down the brake and only revving the car to about 1800 rpm. then when the light turns green let go of the brake and floor it when you get going. auto trannies tend to react better that way instead of redlining it
hope this helped
