Depending on what size pulley he is running and if he is tuned for it, you will get beat. A 3.8 tuned is a very powerful motor. Here is one guy I get parts from and is considered an authority on GM supercharged engines. http://www.intense-racing.com/ just look at what he has to offer for the 3.8's.

Pick a nice hot day and race him if you must. Supercharged engines are horrible for heat soak unless he has supporting cooling mods.

I have to agree with matego and a few others. 3.8s are a very potent motors when built right. The Buick in my sig has the 3.8 with stock: block,crank,rods,pistons,cam,heads, trans and rearend and I hit 11s(on street tires) once I got traction addressed. That being said, if he is as close to stock as he said and you get the holeshot on him, there might be a chance.
Good Luck

Dave

One is on my "Must Own" list. Demon Dart 340, 70 Chevy C-10, 65 GTO, Buick GN, and a 02 WS-6.

I only have 1 so far (70 C-10) Hopefully soon I can add 1 more from the list to my stable.

Well with 100 less hp/tq I was running about 11.5 at 122 mph. I should be in the 10's now and I'll find out this Friday when I get to the track .
