1) he can't drive aka takes longer between shifts

2) he started in a higher gear than you

3) something is mechanically wrong with his car and not running full power/on all cylinders

Are you 100% sure one isn't geared? Are you both the original owners? LOTTA variables racing on the street, with street tires, and a manual trans....

"Runs good" has no merit, nor does winning or losing a street race.

The track will tell all.

im just trying to understand he should have easily walked and i agree about the track that was only for kicks because he wanted to see how fast the new car was.. if theres anything in the engine thats hidden performance what do u think it could be?

Sleeper cam, stock ported heads.. Not too many other things.

Pull a valve cover.. Stock springs and that would rule out a sleeper cam.

Magnaflow has their name across it, can't miss It.

Crawl under the car and check it out.

exactly. and im not really seeing what he is asking.

your buddy has headers an duals where you have a catback. other than that, he only has a tune on you. i dont see where he should have "walked" you anyways. With the mods listed, he would have a slight advantage, but its just comes down to the drivers.

It could also be as simple as different tire pressure, tire age, model/brand, size, ......The list can go on-and-on.
Did you and you friend try switching car and see if the results were the same?

Some cars just run better than others.

My Trans Am had the exact same mods(taken off 1 car and installed on the other) as my Z28.

The ONLY mods the Z28 has that the Trans Am didn't is a converter and a tune.

Trans Am trapped 106 and the Z traps 112.
