Camaro SS H/C vs. 2013 5.0 w/tune gears & suspension mods

My friend wants to race my 2013 SS when I get it out of the shop for a H/C install at the drag strip. He has a 2013 5.0 Automatic. Im thinking it should be a close race I know how fast those 5.0's are in the 1/4 so im not gonna lie I'm a little nervous!

Mustang:
Automatic
3.55 Gears
Aftermarket control arms
Aluminum driveshaft
Sct Tuner w/ preloaded tune
Rear lakewood Drag shocks
street tires...maybe
Automatic

Camaro:
Manual
Ported Heads
23*/24* cam
LT headers w/cat delete
CAI intake
Nitto 555r drag radials on 20s
Trailing arms
Tune

If im behind what do i need to do to catch up? Any advice would be appreciate

I wouldnt worry much about this race. Lower your tire pressure for grip and let her rip. I dont think youll be behind long (maybe off the line if he can launch).

Camaro will take this one. If he had full exhaust, intake manifold, and radials it would be up in the air.

That's good to hear hopefully my clutch lives up to the added hp. If he ever gets bolt ons I think I'm going to get a 3.91 put in I planned on it at somepoint anyway.

As long as you can hook up, you should be fine.

When are you planning on hitting the strip?

That's quite a bit of work to the Mustang for no real power gains. He picked wrong going with 3.55's also. The highest ratio you want to go with that auto is 3.31.

Assuming you launch well and hit your shifts reasonably okay you're going to be fine.

With your mods and DRs it should be a cake walk.
