Keith; It can be done......Look at Duane McKinney's D/BMS record @
242.411 This was done with a twin turbo set-up like you envision with
850 HP. The 68 Corvette he ran that in is NOT a good aero body - that is
why they eventually gave up on the car (It's back with Head/Meyers
running it, and will have twin turbos next year).
Maybe 900 HP would squeek you past that 246.......
