The cars are about equal on paper, So you need an advantage. Try to reduce weight where possible and gear the car down with a 4.11 rear. Change to a T5 or OD tranny for a reasonable cruising speed. Don't go radical with the cam, a 235 doesn't breathe well enough to use a hot cam. Your advantage will be the inline's torque so be sharp off the line. Practice on some test'n tune nights, and keep it to an 1/8 mile if possible.
