Maybe he got better at driving? There is a hatch with a bone stock gsr that runs 13.6's with BFG radials. I have seen them range from 13.5-15's depending on the driver. With your mods your probably high thirteens though, so maybe he is just a shitty driver. Heres a vid of a stock gsr swap thats local http://mywebpages.comcast.net/scottstonertwr/nick.mov

Your math is a little off.

I can vouche for that, I have a 4 cylinder here that has been a project of mine for years. Last year I trapped a pass at 121.5mph and only ran a 12.27 1/4mile with a 2.2 60'. Out of the whole the motor doesn't pull like it did stock, but I trap MPH's well above what I should be trapping for those times. I've surprised many v8 cars with that little american made 4 banger from a roll. Off the line its alot of catch-up to be played.

Judging by the spelling and grammer in the original post, the choice of usernames, and the racist remarks... I can only assume that this is a kid or low IQ fella. 
FYI, imports are nothing to scoff at, even for a honda. Civic's with engine swaps are no joke. It's an easy 13 sec car when on slicks and in race mode at the tracks.
