Default WTF! Why is my car so fast?

Ok. I own a 1995 Civic DX, manual. I am beating Integras, GTI's, Gulf's, and alot of other 4bangers by multiple car lenghts, and they have decent mods(pulleys, intakes, full exhaust, headers). I have driven stock DXs and know they are slow as ****.

These are the mods I have done:
Short Ram Intake
Magnacore Wires
Iridium Plugs
3A Racing Fart Can

My friend was looking over my car and told me my pistons and rods were stock. No other mods have been done. The only thing we could all think of was a chip, but my ECU seems to be stock(havnt opened it up).

Printed on ECU:
IPT AUI 37820-P06-A02 740-773228

not sure, but I beleive its stock.

Any ideas how I can find out what is up with my car?

maybe you were racing, but they weren't and were like "where the fuck is he in a hurry to?"

no, we raced from a dead stop to 80, and it was a flagged start.

well, i still think the fact of having 102hp beating cars with around 160 is a little bothersome to people(they were so pissed off, lol)

he pulled my plugs and told me i had flat top pistons, but not sure how he got the stock rods part.

my pistons were also really dirty, so they had been in there a long time.
