4000lb of tire pressure 
Drivers have alot to do with. How much does he beat you by? Maybe milage might have a little affect on it too. Are you both auto or 5 speed?

Is one a auto and one a stick?? Thatll make a big diffrence. The driver makes a huge diffrence too. It could aslo just be that your engine is tired and not running as good as his.

I raced my friend's 93' LX and he had 3.73s, BBK L/T headers, O/R H-pipe, flowmasters, Underdrive pulleys, 65mm TB, BBK cold air kit, K&N filter.
Me, just what you see in my sig. Nothing, nothing done to the motor. He edge me by a bumper. One of the best races I ever experienced b/c we shifted into 2nd exactly, and were almost side by side through the middle of 4th. Could be the driver, and he is way more experience with a stick than I am, but now I know if I were to race him again, I would win by 1 car length at least. I've gotten better since Nov.

Driver, traction, weight of each car, tire height, engine milage, engine tune....the list go's on and on. I am faster than some cars with MORE mods than I have. There is alot to being fast than just HP.
one more thing i have an alternator and i did the 3g upgrade and the alternator runs at 13.75v at idle and seems coo but is this the correct voltage for a 130amp alternator i bought this from kragen and it was for a 96 v6 also my friends v4 has a 75amp alternator an his idle is 14.30 v which is high but he drives a tercell could my alternator be bad?

yeah I'd have to say 4000lbs of tire pressure is about 3964lbs too much.
with the mods he has done a spare isnt gonna help you...
if he is a car and a half out in front of you, your loosing badly, a spare isnt going to save you.
get a blower.

lol, just a little cartoon I made... It use to have a ford emblem on its neck and a chevy bowtie in its mouth, but I figured chevys are not the only victims that suffer from the wraith, so we'll just toss the blower in and some flames for the spray, and bam, he likes to chew on it.
