Okay I seriously do not know how I lost. My car has more hp, more torque... the only thing his had was less weight. He had pretty much the same mods as me as well. This pisses me off because I've raced like 4 cars ever... and I've lost to all 4.
 The only thing I can think of is that my intake was not installed correctly because I had a friend install it and it was not exactly how the directions said. I guess I'll take a look tomorrow. I started pretty good off the line, then as soon as I got to 2nd, he flew past me!  Then he won by about 2 car lengths.

no your right. Our cars were not ment to go fast. Especially autos with limited 4 gears-no redline in any case and no variable-valve timming. the SOHC Ex's dyno at like 125 to the whells after intake, header and exhaust, Thats a substantial increase than a GT at like 105hp at wheels with intake, exhaust, pulleys wires and plugs. They dont respond well without forced induction or a swap.**shrugs** but they look cool.Like Kwanza said your motors fine the car just lacks in critical areas.
