Default friend wants to race

I have a 08 ISF stock, my friend with a EG with a B18 C5 motor running nitrous wants to run what will my chances be better from a roll or a dig?

How big shot of nitrous?

I raced by buddies EG Hatch (ITR Motor, LSD, ITR Trans, etc) with my Stock 04 GTO (350hp) and destroyed him like he was standing still from a dig and roll.

Just be careful where you do this, as Street Racing isn't very safe (or legal)

You should be able to take him unless his C5 motor is built and he's running a BIG shot of nitrous AND he's on drag radials. Regardless, he'll either have traction issues or he'll run out of juice in the top end. My buddie's EG had an ITR motor in it and was running a 100 shot...he was on slicks and was running 12.7 qtr mile times. Motor was pretty much stock though.

OH, and I also do recommend street racing... I've been caught in the past, had to pay fines, lost my license for 6 months, etc....NOT FUN at all.

Coming from a guy who has owned hondas all his life, you need to be more specific about his mods. An eg with a b18c5 will run high 13's easily. It'll depend on what type of header, headwork, and traction mods he has. Honestly, I wouldn't race simply because you have so much to lose in respect and nothing to gain. If he wins you'll never hear the end of it.

What is he tuned on? Traction bars? May sound like a dumb question but does he have the matching helical LSD trans? You'd be surprised at how many Honda guys half *** motor builds and have an open diff trans. Most importantly, does he drive well?

I've owned a allmotor 12' sec Honda and i know what a B18C jdm GSR or Type-R w/ Nitrous is capable of. A eg, ek, crx, with a 1.8 w/ 75 shot will stand no chance against a isF.
