If he knows how to drive it probably not. I should know i have one (408 instead of the 302) and have raced a stock one with exhaust.
Those 408's are strong running motors...I like my dad's foxbody sporting a 460, he runs 1/8mile but I think that big block would be a much better 1/4 mile car
just hope he dont have 4.10's my bro has an auto with about the same mods but with exhaust and were side by side at the track
