I would probably run him from 20 mph or so. The slower for you the better, becuse of his tall tires.

With your mods and a little patience off the line you should have no problems staying with or beating him.
The Hemi motors have a "safe" tuning setting until mileage gets over 5000, then it definitely wakes up. This is why some new models don't feel so fast from the dealer. Find out what his mileage is.
Either way, should be no issue. Turn the L loose and really make him regret his mouth!

i take it the silverado is 2wd. if it has 3.73s i would race him at about 35, manually shift a 5800-6000rpms in first and the same in second, i would run 1st to i think 45 and 2nd to 83. i think you got a good chance. as long as you dont have a 4.8 ec.
