8 turbos on one engine

Just got my new mag (super chevy) and on the cover is a ls1 with 8 turbos in it.Its in a 57 chevy.The car dynoed 730hp@5800 & 710lb-tq @ 5000 at 13.5 pounds of boost.They mounted all 8 turbos in front off the radiator and no intercooler. What ya think about that?Is this dude nuts or what?Who wants to go for 10 turbos next

A lot of people didn't like that car. I thought it was great. Nothing wrong with being different.

Im telling you thats one bad *** setup

.Hell with 700plus in hp/tq who cares about 350 pounds of plumbing when the car frame is made of 4130 chrome-moly.I'd like to see what it does in quarter(with some traction of course)
