Id think it would be a driver's race since his isa manual.

If he is stock, he might jump you on the line, but you should reel him in. depends on the shape your car is in.

Make sure the car is in great shape: fuel filter, fuel injector cleaner, tire press. 35psi at least, air filter w/o silencer, good oil/fluids, ignition parts, etc before you worry with speed parts.
Practice your launch, and beat him bad. It's not the newer 200Hp one is it? In that case you would lose, in theory. You need to find a good rpm to break stand, and come out of the hole quick and keep rolling.
