Pics of the girl?
Can't believe it took this long to get here. Maybe this is like a Tokyo Drift situation, race for the girl! Don't let him wreck his car and damage her before you claim your prize OP.

Probably an SR20 Swap and most likely would eat up your 5.0
I agree, DO NOT race him from a roll if he is well modded, it could be humiliating being beaten by a $1500 car.FWD cars suck on the street, race from a dig and take his lunch $$.
If it is a B13, it could be a SER, which already has a SR20. I transplanted a Avenir / Bluebird SS motor into mine and lots of guys use the Pulsar N14 GTi-R engine as well. The B13 is crazy light (no power door locks or power windows, factory Recaros) and they make some decent suspension for them.
I ran 10psi out of a T28 (T-too small turbo) and with stock internals on street tires the car would trap 104mph at the track with an easy launch. On the street, at 12psi the car would hurt some feelings, lol.

To those not in the know...the SR20DET is the "little brother" to the GTRs RB26 performance-wise, often preferred over the larger displacement RB25. These motors will handle 450-500hp without any internal mods other than head studs.
Props to him for having the balls to challenge a Coyote car. He is either really that fast, really over confident, really ignorant about the new 5.0, or any combination of these. It will be a cool race, just don't run him on a road course.
Exactly, make sure Dom isn't following you, it'd be stupid getting caught trying to find out what the other guy runs even if it's just 3 spoon engines...Find out where he lives, break into his garage and find what he has under the hood
Second the 14psi not so beefy .
I run 23 on pump gas, wastegate spring is a 21pounder for a future e85 setup.
14psi from a pressumably tiny turbo on a tiny engine is far from "beefy". Most turbo 4 bangers this day and age run that if not more straight from the factory. I know my buddy's '02 WRX (not even the STi) ran 14-15 stock and that thing barely pushed 150rwhp.
Big boys run 25+ psi on those types of engines, and that's really when you have to start worrying.
14psi on a 1.6L even in a Sentra I bet is no more than a 14 second car.
Now throw that same 14psi on a modern day V8 (like the Coyote or LS engine) and you've got a monster pushing 7-800rwhp. That's beefy.
I say 30 days to post race results with video or OP get's a vacation. I don't mind the bench racing threads - if they are eventually paid off with an actual race with video - it's the bench racing bs that never turns into an actual race that pisses me off.
...I'll go race a GT500 right now if I got a call to do so, knowing good and well I'm toast.
Even if that thing has a mod list longer than a 1040EZ form, he still drives away in a Sentra
And yet the guy in the Sentra has the girlfriend and the OP doesn't.
If you actually do OP, my mistake.
That argument is one of the dumbest things somebody can say and inevitably follows someone getting their ass handed to them, "well he's driving a..." So freaking what?! Do you have any idea how many people say that about our blue collar Mustangs? I remember being young and dumb and saying something like that about a guy's clapped-out rust bucket Fox body and my buddy with a Viper saying "uhhh, you drive a Subaru dickhead." Touche'
