The whole goal of that car was to see how far the stock bottom end could go. It runs on Megasquirt and is tuned by one of the most knowledgeable Megasquirt tuners. The car ran an 11.9 earlier this season but I'm not sure what horsepower he was at then.
My reason behind them not knowing much is because that kid in the car should have shut it down immediately upon seeing that boost go past 25 psi, then it pegged at 35 psi. Them knowing it's a STOCK 7 bolt and keeping on it at that much boost is insanely stupid. Sure they were trying to reach a goal, but that's rediculous.
