I don't think 12's is that far away...look at Demon...freaking close...

an then many of the turbo guys have never ran their car...and yes traction is a HUGE problem, but what about a good boost controller? I am not positive, but it seems like the turbos guys that have run...didn't have a progressive boost controller...just a high/low one. Don't you think that would help? I am thinking this is the year (and no not by me, I will have gobs of power, but I am at about 4500 ft elevation...a 12 sec car here is quite a task)

You are correct. Most of the turbo guys are broke after the installs so drag radials and slicks aren't being used along with progress boost controllers. Those things are a chunk of change by themselves!


My best run to date of 13.82@109 was with stock width tires, 215-50's that were already a year old and with only a single stage boost controller.
I could easily do significantly better with a two stage controller so I didn't burn all the way through 1st and 2nd.
