B&P??

Wheels wont make much of a difference. Displacement is everything and the
bigger valves that he has will definately hurt your chances. 
1.8L wins if your both completley stock. Comparatively speaking, your
looking at 75 hp while he has 90. You would need to come up with and
exceed 15hp to beat him. Unless he cant drive of course.
