    From what I've seen, it's not so much of it takes turbo cars more power to run 13's compared to lower horsepower all motor cars, than a lot of turbo car owners don't set their car up for drag racing.

    I took my NA hatch to the strip with 22" slicks, gutted, and a cold night for a reason... low power. I've seen a LOT of turbo guys go out on street tires, full weight, and high humidity/heat. However, Japan4racing had a stock GSR swap with a Peakboost turbo kit in a Civic that did DEEP 12's if not high 11's if I remember correctly.

    I had a drag gen III 57 trim t3/t04e running 7psi on a stock gsr in a 94' vx hatch that made 260whp and weighed around 2300lbs with me in it. I ran 12.5@114 on 22inch slicks with 2.0 60's. Then I bought a peakboost kit 60 trim t3/t04e put it on the same gsr swap and tossed it in a 93' 4 door dx that weighed just over 2600lbs with me in it. that car went 12.2@117ish with similar 2.0 60's on 22 inch slicks. I later put that whole set-up in a 92 cx hatch which weighed a good 300 lbs lighter than the 4 door and I never ran it...I kick myself in the ass almost every day for never running that car and never getting the set-up tuned. I have no clue how much power it was making but there is no doubt in my mind that in that hatch it was an 11 second car. Even with my shitty driving and 2.0 60's! the motor was 100% stock internally and had ~120k miles....20k of which were boosted and I literally beat the shit out of that car every day and it took every bit of it and wanted more.
