I dont know twelves but right now at 15psi I run pretty damn quick on the street. Thats on that lil baby turbo too. Im also building a b230ft motor and i want to spray along with about 20-25 psi. I know ill shatter the tranny but i think itll be good for a few pulls at least.
ill post some pics once i get things rolling.

The intake was custom made and running a 70mm Mustang throttle body!!!!
That car was running 13.50 with NOS
The 12 second car he had was a sedan and most of it was stripped out to reduce weight.

It wasn't fast enough for him so he pulled that engine and is building a Chevy 350 do drop in it with NOS.
