The fat tires thing has been done in both road racing and drag racing.
After traction stops becoming an issue, the large tires are less efficient meaning you're wasting power to turn them. So getting the same traction from smaller tires makes you go faster because you're not wasting power.
Just spitballing some ideas here...
You might be getting traction so well that it's causeing your engine to lug too low in the power band. All of the parts you both share might work better with his engine.
If you had spun slightly, it might not have lugged as much and ran better. If that was the cause of your problems, anyway.
Tolerance stacking might have given your friend a better combination of parts than you ended up with, too.
