Who will pull who?
a friend of mine always brags about his supposedly bad 1994 350 chevy 4 speed 3/4 ton so i finally got tired of his mouth and raced him i have a bone stock 1978 f-150 4x4 351m automatic and i beat him by close to 6 truck lengths now he wants to hook them up..... so the question is who will pull who? What does everyone think?

have any tips on how to do this (first time) should i put the transmission in 1 or stay in drive? should i just mash my brakes until he spins? i have a feeling his clutch will slip... but when he starts to spin should i floor it or just ease into it?

yes 1st. don't mash the brakes it will lock them up and he will drag you. you want them firm but not locked then ease into it.

You want your truck as heavy as possible during the pull for traction reasons. Full gas tank for sure. If you don't think he'll notice, I'd put some sand bags in the bed. If you wanted to be sneaky about it, I'd try to add as much weight inside the cab as you can. Find a fat friend.
