Lag on a 4-rotor?
I really doubt there is much lag when you've got 4 rotors pulsing on it. I do know there is inertia to overcome that goes up expoentially as the blade diameter expands, but 4-rotors provides quite a bit of momentum......

I think it will suck so hard the fenders will buckle.....

The probably will fit the compressor outside the hood like other cars with HUGE turbos.

This isn't your average sized turbo anymore. I'm pretty sure it will have lag, but in a drag car it won't matter much.

yeah, lag isnt really a factor for drag cars as long as the trubo manages to spool.

oh and this car sounds absolutely awesome.
