YOu can go the cheap and easy route with a 150 shot from NX..

OR..

Heads/cam/headers/injectors/pcm and you will be able to ROAST him at all times.

Stock for stock and both drivers are decent, you should be able to kick his butt. :D I have raced one before when my car was stock and didn't have any problem at all. But I haven't ran into a modded one yet so I couldn't tell you. I can't wait to run into a modded one, and of course I'm seriously modded too. :lol:

The aftermarket exhausts won't do much in term of performance increase (few horses at most). They are pure for look and sound. I would strongly recommend the Corsa Indys. They sound awesome and there is absolute no resonance at all RPM.

Have fun spanking that Lightning. And when you're done, send him my way. :lol: :lol: :lol:

:cheers:

Whats up bro. Your bro isn't going to have that stuff done to his car for a while so don't give your self a headache over it for now. We all know how easy that is, and how hard it is for you to think sometimes. :D That lightening I ran at the track in your old car had everything your bro is getting and it went 12.9. Get some headers, intake, and an exhaust. Oh GET BETTER TIRES :yesnod: You won't have a problem spaninkg him. Just don't miss a shift. other wise you will be :smash: the Lightening if he ever sells his car. :crazy:

With the mods listed the Lightning will run high 12's. We have a lightning group that frequents our home track & we run them all. The only 2 that can beat us are spraying 150 shot on top of the other mods.

Be careful! We got beat badf our first race with one when we were stock & he had similar mods as you listed.

Se our Sig for our mods & ET's.

Good luck! :cheers:
