whats the difference in turbo hp and all motor hp ?

Actually, let me make it easier to understand. Go to any drag racing ET calculator. You will input your weight, and your horsepower. You will not input whether you are turbo, SC, or NA. Why? - Because it doesn't matter. What matters is that you can get traction. The only thing that touches the ground, and moves you, are your tires.

With that said, if you take 2 identical cars, both making 450rwhp, one with turbo, and the other with all motor, the car that makes more power under the curve should edge the other out. Usually, that would be the all motor car.

Turbo lag should not be a factor, if your car is setup for the track.

jaqpan4 racing you were about 200 pounds heavier but you are the closest comparison boosted to my car yet . honestly thats not alot of difference i could say im sure my car is faster but yours could have been also . I realy been waiting for post like that cause everybody i know running 250hp boosted would be happy to run a high 12 thats alot closer we maybe getting some were now.

Yea, honestly with a better driver the 4 door could have gone 11's...I certainly had the mph @ 117 on slicks.....but with those short times it wasnt gonna happen. After I swapped everything to the hatch Im pretty sure my shitty driving could have netted some high 11's even with shitty short times.

Here is a sample of my driving when I had the 4 door..if I remember correctly I ran a 12.4 @ 114 on this pass. The clocks messed up on that run somehow and the 111.xx mph shown is not mine..it was up before I crossed the line. that same night was when I ran the 12.20@117 and it was not uncommon for this car to trap 115-119. As you will see I bog out of the hole, bounce rev limiter for a while then have a not so good pass:
