A friend of mine has challenged the migty msp, however not wanting to eat crow i want to have the win before we race. So Between the two, both stock and not modded, which would win in a race provided drivers were the same and both standard.

And if i will loose, what would be the best thing to get me over the top to start with. ?? Intake is what im thinking. any ideas??

Agree with Pasha. He's got 30 more HP than you, but he's also 200 lbs. heavier. The simplest and most cost effective mods you can make is a C.A.I. , a K&N filter (#33-2134) and a bigger diameter exhaust. I'd guess you'd gain anywhere from 28-35hp. This number is based on 3-10hp for the filter change, 10hp for the pipe, and up to 15hp for the cold air intake. On a cool day, you'll get 158 to 165hp. Not too shabby for a fistful of change.

By the way, the filter is always a good idea. The cotton construction breathes 50% easier than the stock paper filter, and can be cleaned over and over - done mine 15 times, and it's still in pristine shape. They go for $50 CDN.
