I believe Strauss hit 13's with 11 psi. You have to remember too, for those people runing over stage 2 bootlevels, the ones with built motors, are most likely running low compression. Dropping almost a full point of compression from stock, is close to running one to 2 psi less of boost power wise. Launching a non turbo 420A at the track is MUCH easier than a boosted one. YOu can damn near drop the clutch and floor it, and still get great traction, and hook up. With a turbo, if you do that on street tires, you will just light up the tires, and go nowhere. YOu have to ease out the clutch with high rpms, and to get a snappy launch, that takes lots of practice. Now, get some good drag radials, or slicks on the front, matched with some adjustable shocks in the rear, then you can launch the boosted car much harder, resulting in lower 60ft times, which greatly improves your end ET. I had said this before, by lowering your 60ft by one tenth, you will take off 2 tenths in your end 1/4 ET. I noticed this for every run i made at the track where i improved my 60 ft time. If i got a 2.3 60ft, and ran a 14.6, then by dropping my 60ft to lets say a 2.0, that gets me a 14 second flat 1/4 run. Now, if i can get sub 2.0 60fts, then i'd be running high 13's. Its mostly in the driver, and of course a strong running car. Not too many people can get sub 2.0 60fts with a turbo FWD and street tires...For those who have high expectations with their turbo, go to the track and make a run. You'll quickly see its not so easy as it looks 13.5 @108 MPH-2.2 60ft(stupid FWD!)
