Can I beat?

I hate doing this, and I swore I never would bench race, but I need to know this.

I have a friend with a 3rd gen that has a 305TBI. We've raced countless times before where I always beat him by a reasonable amount.

Now he just had all the rods/bearings redone in his motor along with a new intake (btw, he has 3.08s instead of the stock 2.73s). All he's doing now is trash talking saying how he'll only run me at the track (that's fine since last time he ran 16.5) and that he wants it all on video so he can show everyone how he'll whoop my butt and all. I don't doubt that I can beat him so what do you think he's doing? I'm worried about the UNEXPECTED. His friends (who I don't have good relationships with) are all saying...yo yo you should race him and stuff to shut him up). Something is fishy...

I drive in his car alot and I can attest that he has no forced induction nor nitrous...unless he installs it at the last minute. What do you guys think?

nope....the intake will help a tiny bit and the new rings sealing will be his only improvement but he still doesnt have a chance against you...

Go slap Seal's nitrous kit on your car real quick and if he does have anything up his sleeve just flip that switch ;)

I ain't messing with spray and drilling holes in my TB. Any other pointers to make sure this race is an easy victory. BTW, I'm positive now there's no NOS.
