That's nothing.. I'm running a Paxton at 20psi with 87 octane. My best 1/4 is 13.09 at 190mph - major traction issues..

thats my home track he says he was at, cant say i've ever seen the car. and considering most of the modded tC's in stl are in my club i'll call BS too. I only know of 3 s/c'd tC's in stl period and they arent fast lol
