426 horsepower to the tires. Little bitty *** car. 113-114 1/4 mile traps. 91 MPH 1/8th mile traps. I guess I'm a little confused as my GST can run similar numbers to that with 150 horsepower less. 
It didn't look to me like he screwed up the runs at all either. Am I the only one thinking it would at least trap much higher?

He gained 22 mph. That's pretty normal for a decent car from my experience.

Not for a car putting down 426 to the tires. It should be more, no BS. Any idea what the Scion weighs? That would help shed some light on this.

I dunno if yall noticed but it is 2 different cars. The white one makes 426 hp on 18 psi, the black one is only 14 psi and unknown hp. Id say the 14 psi one is prolly makin alot less as it is only a stage 1 kit and the black one is a stage 3. I havent a clue about thier stages adn what is included but i bet the black car is only makin 350 hp or less. Maybe even 300 with the drag slicks and a light *** car. HP makes the trap weither helps the ET. He can get it movin well but it dont cut through air well with little weight and little pwr. 22 mph seems regular for speed diferences. GL guys

I figure with around 91 in the 1/8th he should be trapping around 118 in the 1/4. Maybe the fact that the car doesnt weigh squat and he's on a big tire slowed him down on the big end.

12's in general may not be all that impressive, but it's a HUGE step up for a low 16/high 15 second car (2005 Scion tC Specs).
of any of the scions, the tC is the only one i would ever consider driving (daily driver, of course....and i wouldn't waste money on upgrades for it), the others look like total dog ****, especially the Kleenex-box-on-wheels "xB".....

Let's see it run using only one shift and two gears.

Considering this is a fairly new vechicle coming from high 15's to low 16's is very impressive. And to my knowledge, the turbokit is around 3500-4000. You will not need to build the bottom end for anything under 400hp, from what I have seen on the forums.
