This is 100% Correct its all about the Under the Curve power,not peak.Thats prolly why he is catching you up top beceause he's finally in his "Peak" Power range for a long period of time in 3rd and 4th gear

To the OP good kill. Remeber, although you beat him, that doesnt mean in a perfect world he shouldn't drag you.

No tellin what his setup is like though, he may not be revvin it like he should, or something could be hurt, no tellin.
