   Wow.
   Getting 135-140 with mild, near-stock modifications is easily 
achieved. 150 is certainly withing the realm of possibility with more 
extensive work. I think you'll be breaking entirely new ground for the 
entire Imperial marque by even approaching 200...  Do you have an 
overdrive (is there even one that'll take that power)?
   I can't wait to hear the results, and wish you luck in your endeavor.
