Default transmission make my car quicker?

I have a lsvtec, b16 head with a few simple mods, cat back, intake, skunk 2 chip, victor X intake manifold. I was expecting my car to run with vw vr6 (popular car in my town, always talking smack about us honda lovers) . I keep gettin smoked by vr's. I was wondering since I have a LS tranny , if I was to get a type R, CTR or gsr tranny would my car be quicker? quick enough to make my car hang with vr6's?

what kind of car is it in, check engine light one, did you run any tests, and did you properly time it?

Thats also a pretty heavy car but you should still be able pull on them. When does your v-tec kick inand what rpm are you shifting at and what computer are you using.
