I also understand that it was only 7 psi and the turbo kit has a lot more in it.

No, compared to what some of these people here have been doing to get low times, AJP was not "banging" through. A quick shift doesn't equal abuse. Some of these people put their cars through hell. AJP is no exception because they know the car is going to handle it, but at the same time, when you have two to three times the original value of the car invested in it in parts, R&D, labor and tuning, with more money and time to be spent with it, I seriously doubt you're going to desire to completely rip through anything the first time you take it out to the track just to appease the drag guys.
They need some Hoosier's.
