OP, did you have your car dynoed when you got your tune? I'm guessing with what you have, you should be around 380-390ish depending on the dyno. I can see 430 to the wheels with his mods (the 10 second quarter estimate is hilarious, though, as is his thought that he will destroy you). It will be a very close race, it's possible he may inch you out if you aren't on your A game (both cars are capable of trapping high teens to 120ish in the 1/4). I suspect you would start slowly pulling on the top end, though.

If you race him, make sure you have some sticky tires!

The stangs tend to be too heavy, and the gearing ratios are bleh.

You must be referring to flywheel horsepower, but that can only be seen on an engine dyno.
