well if he has 450whp... you probably need to have a litle more then that... but it all depends on if you guys do a roll or digg...
guy will probably spin his nutts off anyways.

there is obviously not an easy answer to that question, because going faster doesn't rely solely on hp. Start here and figure it out.

To kill in what sort of race?
You'll need much more than a basic turbo swap (as is reflected in your sig) to kill that; rough guess, but I'd say in a drag race, if you're both at stock weight, you'll probably need to push a bare minimum of 350-370hp with great traction.

^+1 to all the above. Depending on the race type and his setup YOu will definitely need more than a regular turbo swap. If it was a 03 With the Terminator Block and Kenne Bell all i would say is BEWARE!!!

Yes they sure are but if he is running slicks or even some good drag radials and can hook well then you better be quick. Its not all about HP as it is a combination of HP and Torque in this case. He has massive TQ and will get him off the line if he can hook well. I dont know your TQ #s. Weight is also a factor.
