96 EX Sedan stock faster than my 98 EX Coupe with mods
*DISCLAIMER: This was staged on a PRIVATE stretch (welcome to Arkansas landowners) that I have legal permission (from my father) to use. There is a ZERO (literally) chance of innocent people getting involved.*
Him: Stock 96 EX Sedan, AT.
Me: 98 EX Coupe, AT. AEM CAI, DC Header, Helix, NGK Iridium Plugs, NGK Wires
From a stop, unless I brake torque the hell out of it, he gets 2 bumpers on me.
In top end, he was pulling away around 110-115.
What's with that?!?

I have a really stupid question. . . Is it possible to install the Helix (TB spacer) backwards. Mine doesn't make the simulated turbo noise everyone elses does, and I'm thinking it's restricting power maybe?
