both are rated at the same speeds.. same engine, same car, etc..
Maybe his launches were also better than yours too.

your mufflers probably only add about 2 hp. the manual should always win. He will get more power to the wheels because he is a manual. Also remember that he has six speeds compared to your 5. He will be geared differently. You will need more mods to beat him.

That said, I'll assume your driving skills are fairly equal, so you'll need to check the tune on your car . . as already mentioned . . coil packs, actuator, plugs, injectors, tranny, etc can result in a big difference.
Also, are you the original owner? How a car is broke in will also effect the performance. Break it in like a granny, drive it like a granny and when you want to run it . . . it'll perform like a granny.

Oh, and check the actuator . . . there's a thread on that so do a search.

What is an actuator and how do I tell if it is broken?
* At 4100 RPM, the ECU signals a 12V actuator to open the secondary intake valve. If the actuator is broken, you're losing a fair amount of power in the mid-range RPMS.
* Click here for pics of the actuator in action.
* Note that some dealers are not even aware the actuator exists! So to get it fixed you should print out pictures/posts regarding the actuator and stuff it in the dealer's face. And/or show them how the actuator works on a non-broken Type-S.
* If the actuator needs to be ordered the Part name is: "Bypass Valve Actuator"
* Click here for a realplayer movie of the actuator in action.
* If the engine is cold, and you turn the actuator by hand, you should hear a 'Thunk' sound near the top of the engine, and the secondary intake opens.

It will be the best $150 you have ever spent - get it replaced ASAP!
