Don't do it Nextras, besides the fact you'll get your *** absolutely spanked, it's not worth risking your license over and putting other drivers and pedestrians in danger. If this were at a track then I'd say go for it.. it would be a good learing experience, but please keep the racing off the street. In Ontario if you get caught street racing now it's a $5000 fine and you loose the vehicle, the police and public are fed up and not making any exceptions.

if you think he won't shut up now, wait until you lose to him.

There is no comparison between a stock standard horsepower 351 and stock 302 in a F150 of similiar weight and transmission. The Lightning 351/240 horse would be devastating. Plus your 3.55 to his 4.10 would also be a disadvantage also.
I would bet that your pretty green F150 short box looks better than his Lightning though!!

Some factory horsepower figures are inflated. For example. The 96 Corbra 4.6/4 valve is rated at 305 horsepower. But all of the quarter mile figures I have seen are the same or very close to the 4.6/2 valve 260 horse Mustang GT--14 second @ 100 MPH. Same power train and final drive ratio and weight of vehicle.
I suspect that the base/351 truck engine is underated if anything in horsepower. The perception of actually driving a 351 in a F150 makes one think that there must be more than 200/210 net horsepower and 300 footpounds of torque .
