I am thinking along the lines that if the car's aero is sorted out, the power required should be less, which could make this whole thing easier to pull off and safer for you (assuming your doing the driving).

I know of a guy who pushed a 70 Javelin to over 200 MPH in the Silver State road race, but he's a prick who won't give up any "secrets." A few AMC guys have commented that he prolly had over 600 HP, and his body style Javelin is less aero than mine, so I think I'm working with a better body design and engine package. I've also done some homework on 2nd gen F-bods who have gone 200+ MPH, as they have a similar profile as the Javvy. But power overcomes all...as the Big Red '69 Camaro had the aero of a brick, but still went well over 200 MPH.
