So like I said, you don't run a lot of pancar.

13.5 blinky would be okay as the bottom class for 12th scale. Hell our home track is 63'x33' and in deferrence to the boost haters we run 10.5 blinky.
Boost like everything else in this hobby is what you make of it. A properly tuned boosted pancar drives just like a blinky car everywhere but the straight. If an individual can't handle a ton of boost then they shouldn't dial in so much.

There are classes designed for "slow, fair, level-playing field" racers. VTA and USGT are tailor made for people who just wanna race without pushing the envelope. The old school "Stock" type classes were designed to be lessons in how to move up the ladder, the further we detune these classes, the less effective they become at teaching us how to go fast, making the move to modified even more difficult. This attitude is why we aren't really a force on the World Stage in On-Road anymore.
