I think having the electric drive with no lag issues and coming on so early in the rpm band throws away traditional needs to be conservative on wheels sizes. I wonder if a different wheel can be used in this system to get the extra air needed if so desired.
I also don't really know what I'm talking about, just really reading to learn and throwing ideas out there.

This is already a completely customized system to fully utilize the rpm the motor can output.
What you are talking about Rob has already done in this product. Its was engineered by him. Everything is custom built to his specs, the motor is reinforced to handle the extra load and speed, the control box built to scale out the kW as people always want more. His has been through countless designs (compressor wheel and compressor housing) to get where he is today.
Rob has spent years to get where he is today(many different platforms)....50 to 85 percent torque gain in the dip leveling to 25-35 percent gain at redline out of this system is amazing.
