Default My car is slower than its supposed to be....

Why is my car so slow...Yeah so I have a 2001 Civic EX, 101,000 miles. V2 Intake, Evo2 exhaust, dc sports race header (no cat), exedy stage 1, and act streetlite flywheel. And i drove my friend's bone stock 2002 Civic EX with 89,000 miles and it is faster than my car. What gives? what could be wrong with my car. Recently changed spark plugs, fuel filter, oil, input shaft bearing. Everything is well maintained. HELP!?? No CEL's or anything.

^^ Most likely it. If it really bothers you enough to spend some dough, go to a dyno shop to make sure you're making "the right amount."

It may be the loss of torque?
