Dave,

Lag is the biggest misconception when dealing with turbos. With the proper sized turbo for your application, a turbo will not have any lag. Slapping a 100 mm turbo on a stock 302, yea, there's going to be lag, but not if you do a little research and talk with the turbo manufactures before you order a turbo. And a roots style will still not produce more torque than a turbo on equal setups.
