did you look at his engine? maybe he lied to you or maybe you cant drive or he is a really really good driver. your exhaust is at the limit for an NA engine. it isnt too big although taking out the cat does greatly reduce back pressure. realisitically, you only have 3 mods(light flywheel/clutch, exhaust, and intake) that add a little bit of power that a good driver in a stock car can make up for. the clutch doesnt even really add power, it increases efficiency practice your driving, get better launches and faster/smoother shifts

i checked his engine, it lookes stock and as for his drivin it sucks!!! i dont know what to do, i am thinking of changing my exhaust pipes to 2" or 2,25" i dont know if that helps my michanic told me to change my sparks and put the spoon sparks that are only for hight compression n/a.......
