The 1990 1991 single turbo engine would be ideal. 200 HP is stock but 
250 HP could be easily obtained.  You could add a turbo to just about
any year. Anything after 1993 and up would be ideal for an after
market turbo. These engines were built in Japan up until 2003. 250 to
280 HP was stock but 300 HP would be about right for takeoff. As much
as 800 HP is obtainable for racing purposes. Say at Reno.

Speaking of racing I hope we get some more entries in the Sun 100 race
this
year. There is still $500 in the Everett Hatch Memorial Prize Fund for
anybody
powered with a rotary (in an airplane:)) exceeding 220 MPH in a
sanctioned 100 mile cross country race. Tracy Crook went 209 MPH last
year and won $500.
This year the required minimum speed increased.
