I doubt it, i mean your looking at a mid 15 sec truck once you do the fans and if you 4wd launch it.
The stall would only help about a tenth maybe 2.
I mean it woudn't hurt but he's gonna win more than likely.
Your truck is just too damn heavy is the problem.
CC 4WD with quadrasteer=alot of fat.

oh I understand, I didn't buy it to be a go fast truck. I did some fishing and found out he actually has like a 2200 stall, not a 2900.

Will I be beat like bad? Like more than one car length?

hey dont be knockin quadrasteer bro. j/m, but the quadrasteers come standard with a 12 bolt Dana 60 LSD instead of the G80. Just for grins I'll post my time slip, however embarrassing it may be.

I'm just saying that you're not going to win this race. The rustangs are somewhat fast but...........it took a lot of mods for me to beat one. This was a long, long time ago. However, I do wish you luck and hope you kick the **** out of this car!!! It feels very good when you get a stang under your belt. I know.

His smaller stall size will help you pull him out the hole if you 4wd launch it. But i'd say by 40-50 he will catch up and start to pull.
Considering the weight of your ride i say 3-4 lengths.
