im ashamed to admit it

my sons friend and I went to cruise night tonight at Raceway Park in Englishtown NJ and just for poops and giggles we decided to race our beaters down the quarter mile.....
Bear in mind that Andy works for me andhe is paying off his truck to me as he needs it working for me..
Anywho what really hurts is that he beat me driving his stinking F 150 albeit by a fraction of a second.. ive got a 305/250 he has a 302/4speed
So what i need is some ideas as to what I can do to my truck ( cheaply ) to win next time... I am posting pics of both trucks and the time slip lol ideally id liketo do better on the time/speed without sacrificing too much mpg not that im planning on racing this truck every weekend but id like to have better pickup time even while getting on the highway and all

running tonight i had a new carb ( edelbrock 650), new gas filter, octane boost,new air filter, wires are pretty new as are plugs
