Need some help all you racers!

I have a '97 with only K&N and flowmasters. I raced my friends bone stock '95 and pulled a fender on him through 2nd. Our cars were pretty much dead even, the only time I pulled on him was through the 1-2 gear change (he shifts like a grandma). I'd say your race would be pretty close, as is. If you get the gears, then no chance. Do you know what kind of gears you have now? Stick with the 3.73's for your car if you do decide to get some.
