Not to sounds like an ass but all you really have in go fast mods is an exhaust and a modified intake. Stock autos have 1/4 et all the way up to 18s(some are worse). And you haven't really taken any weight out but added some and you are running on 18s. And what type of civic was it. They are already lighter than us by a good few hundred pounds. I'm not all that suprised that it beat you.
Swaps are not done everyday and I can count the number of people that have done it on 1 hand. It's not easy and it's not all that cheap either. It'll cost close to $1.5k to $2k. No one has ever gotten a level ten tranny so no one really knows how good it could be.
If you want to get fast rather quickly get a turbo kit. It'll speed you up rather quickly. It'll put you into the 15s and with a bottom end upgrade even faster. But on the highway or from a roll you'll be even faster.
