Default what is the car doin

ok so a few weeks ago i raced a buddy of mine in a stock ep hatch and lost from a roll 2 difrrent times and barley won on a dig. i didnt think of anything bc i was new to the car and figuered it was bc it was new and i had to get used to it.
Well tonight i lost to a sohc turbo del sol by 2.5 cars Sad the thing is this car has me confused and it maybe bc its a gsx but you guys tell me your opinions
1st gear pulls hard thru redline
2nd gear pulls hard thru redline
3rd gear dies like it hits a brick wall at 6k rpms and i know its not fuel cut bc its a 14b on 13psi
4th gear is sluggish from about 4.5k til redline
what is the car doin is it bc its a gsx or is somehting wrong
the car has a fresh rebuild with forged internals stock turbo stock smic stock fpr stock fuel pump
please help me guys im tired of losing to hondas that i should be beating i would think

and you said you lost to a vtec hatch and a turbo del sol? they weigh half as much with almost if not more power. upgrade, then tune, then try again.

Ep's dont factor in driver.... (not saying youre a bad driver)

but was he on slicks?
high boost?
etc....

TONS of factors coulda played into your loss.
