Put on a blower

You could look into shorties or ask one of the cam gurus like RMbuilder what they can do for you.

Other than that, loose weight. Strip the cabin for anything that is easily removed.

Put in a bottle of nitrous for one run. When you are dead even hit the switch and waive bye bye.

lose as much fuel as you can without running out and as others have said ditch any gear you can.

What gear ratio are you guys running? If you are running 1.5's, both boat's slip is pretty high. So, there is some improvement to be made there.

Are both boats showing the same speed on GPS?
