ok, that makes more sense, the youtube thin says stock internals though

"AJ Performance's 2006 Honda Civic SI gets an 11.966 at the Moroso Motorsports Park with 20 psi of boost using the AJP Stage 2 turbo kit and stock internals"

They may be doing it, but like you said, thats pretty ballsy. Probably just some misinformation on youtube.

Nope GMC 4 door 4X4 pickup with a diesel running low 12s with the stock wheels and everything. The only thing I could see while going down the track was a cloud of black smoke. As we lined up, I said to myself, "this should be easy." Well, I was wrong.

the best one I've seen is google "silver bullet car" . The Car Craft article will make you head shake.
