730 hp and 710 lb-ft at 5800rpms with 13.5 psi boost....

not that impressive...wtf is the point of 8 turbos for 730hp ???
if those numbers are correct that was seriously a stupid investment. You have cobras on a blower running about 600rwhp....twin turbo a cobra and they hit 700rwhp...so 8 of them is ridiculous and obviously useless for that amount of power

An engine can only handle a certain amount of boost, without blowing something. That car was made just for show only. That guy had too much money...
