the 02 lightnings have a 3.73 rear in them.
the only way you can keep up is a LARGE shot of nitrous or if you fabricate a turbo system for your block, or if you go from a stop, and he can't drive well.
if he is stock he is putting around 350 hp and 420 ft.-lb's to the wheels. with a simple pulley change and a tune, he would be around 400 hp and 500 ft.-lbs. at the wheels. that is enough for a high 12 in the 1/4 mile.
get to work, but it is not going take just a simple nitrous install to beat him.
