Turbo heat can be dealt with decently easy. From what I've seen a roots style charger is harder to ditch the heat.
Oh and yeah, not to worried about raw hp numbers, more FUN and drivable for both street and some track days!

You should go through the Mayhem build thread. Mark and I believe Brian Thompson, who built the engine, really give a lot of great info on heat management with the roots style blowers.
Maybe lag was the wrong term to use when talking about the Pro-charger but it's not as quick as a roots blower. I much preferred driving a Magnacharged vette to the Pro-charged ones even though the Pro-charged ones made more peak power typically. The torque band on a roots style blower is a lot better for street driving too. That's what really sells it for me.
