If all he has on that Camaro is K&N shit, then my guess is that you could take him... his car has about 15 more HP stock than your car has stock. The K&N shit prolly adds about 15-25 HP. Your heads and intake would add a hell of a lot more, so I think you could get ahead. That's just my .02 based on horsepower ratings alone. Now, you have a FWD car, so HP loss is way less, but traction being an issue.... I really can't say... My guess is that it's possible, depending on if you or your friend are good drivers or not.

Like everyone else said, LT1s/LS1s have a sweet 3rd gear. You might be able to hang or possibly beat him out the hole if he cant launch, but if you let him get into 3rd, you're screwed. A 15.0 1/4 mile isn't gonna cut it. Just race him and watch for cops. I just got a 'speed contest' ticket the other week.

Revving at 9K...
I used to have a 95 Z28 T-top with LT1 Six-Speed. I ran 13.8 stock at the track without hard shifting. I'm sure the auto is not far off from that.. So if you are run low 14's, you might have a chance.
