Default Say its not just me...

Now that i've dumped about 4 grand into my B16a etc. TOday i'm cruzing around and meet a kid with a CRX Si, so while i'm driving behind him on a huge road, i figure hell, with this new engine, i can show it off a bit, blow around him. Too my suprise, i couldn't even overtake his Rex, his Si motor kept up if was not better, couldn't even get by him... I know I have a either Defective head gasket or else a slightly warped head due to some radiator fluid being burned. But what can be the reason for this. Is it just me?

Maybe he was a better driver than you. Maybe he did a better job on his swap tuning wise.
Did you even know what engine he had?

How long have you had the swap in car?
Check everything.
What were your rpm's when you began to pass?
Has the car ever ran hot?

Do you know the guy's set-up? Maybe he wasn't as easy a kill as you thought...
