At this point, he's got the advantage (DOHC, a little more hp, and a lighter car).

A turbo or a motor swap is where I would go. The Y8 is a good turbo motor already...

You can do some things drivetrain-wise to get better power delivery (shop around for a lightened flywheel...) That should give you a noticeable difference. But other than that, $250 won't go very far...

You're only gona be able to afford like 1, maybe 2 bolt ons with $250. And even then, they aren't gona give you enough power to beat him.

ive got three words that are your only hope.

USED NITROUS KIT.

it sounds like thats your only choice at this point. or losing. but thats a crappy choice. check ebay. and keep it off the streets. oh, and its not that great of a long term mod, so dont plan on keeping it for a long time, just race him and get rid of it. then save the money you would spend to keep getting it filled and get a turbo kit down the road.
