Build up questions

Alright so I want to build my truck so it can CRUSH my co worker's 1993 nissan 300zx twin turbo. He's had it since last November and not driven it since, it just sits at work in the back warehouse. Yet he still talks about how great it is and how it's faster this that and the other...

What would it take to make my f150 go from zero to 60 in 5 seconds?

By crush I mean go faster then it can.

I know making a brick go faster then a wedge is tricky, but what's needed?

I think you might have better luck just running his vehicle over. It wont be very fast then.

About 350 hp and 400 torque and a 3800# truck. 4.84 0-60 is my best time so far, according to my datalogger.

I would do that if it was my last day.
