I hope you don't plan on running around the streets all day on a 3200 stall...thats too much for a daily driver IMO-
Stock Lightnings run around high 13's depending on conditions. Yes I know because my friend happens to have one-
A bone stock LT1, auto will run really low/flat 14's maybe.
Stock for stock the Lightning has you- but with your cam and heads you are prolly running around a 13.5 I would say. So I dont think you can say you would SMOKE one- and since all that truck was doin was spinnin I would say he either is a sh**** driver or he is dealing with a lot of power and can't plant it properly.

You run a 13.9 huh?
Well I run 13.8's constantly, and here's a vid of me vs. a stock lightning I mean, stock down to the paper filter, stock. I on the other hand, have a little exhaust work, and lid, filter, and bellows....No traction, issues. nothing...I just straight up got my a$$ handed to me...I'm in the right, lane, and he's in the left, btw.

I'm with sincere on this one. Stock for stock he would beat you. A pulley, exhaust, and intake, and he should be on par with the heads and cam that you have. I mean with those BPUs a lightning with a decent driver should be low, low in the 13's.
