    You don't have to drag him on the streets or strip or go faster than 100 mph for that matter to have a feel for what he's got compared to your rail job. Get the T out and go out with the stang on a 4 lane road when traffic is minimal. Start from 20 or 30 mph stab it and cut it back at 80 to 100 mph and see how you do. Either way that should shut him up.

    For about $5k in its entirety you could also Pro Charge the T. But without all the safety stuff like Dave said I would be nervous racing it.

    I had a 29 hiboy last year,that had a 10.90 engine from a steel 56chevy--didnt take long to feel the power that it was capable of. I got rid of it and last I heard it was in LA. My underware are getting cleaner every wash!
