truck pulling...

I haven't hooked up to any trucks and tried to pull them before so bare with me. I understand the basic principle of trucks pulling each other. My buddy has a 87 2wd Ford F-350 full 4-door duelly with the 7.3L international non-turbo truck with a 3spd automatic trans, the truck has 178K miles on it and its his 3rd tranny. He has the banks sidewinder non-intercooled turbo kit on the truck and a 4 inch banks exhaust with a muffler. His truck has an open rear with 4.10 gears so it only hits a one tire fire(or two in this case). He thinks he can pull my 01 2500 4x4 in 2wd with my chip off on dry pavement. I also have an intake and a 4 inch straight pipe. I was just wondering what you all thought, I think I can take him but I was just wondering what tips you all had towards truck pulling. thanks ya'll.. . . . Jed.
