I think you can get him. If you can control wheel spin. I love V8s. But the power to weight is just too much on your side. And plus. I bet he has a th-400 3 speed. And with 3.73 depending on tire height he probably tops out around 110mph or lower. His car is probably a nice 13 sec car on street tires. But alot of this is a drivers race. Cuz that 454 big block has a hell of a lot of torque. And if he can get it out the hole he is goin to jump u by a lenght or two. BUT being on street tire he will mostly spin. At the track with slick this would be a good race. But again this could go either way really. But I think you can get them. In a roll he is weak becuz of the limited top end. But also in a dig he is weak becuz of the massive torque im talking like 500ft lbs easy on street tires is a burnout contest.
