Plus, I'm good with my easy to maintain stock Bravo and mild big block power. 
75-78 in mine is nothing to drive, but you're right, it's gotta be real loose to get there, unless there's a good 1-2 ft chop. However, it's stable with virtually no tendency to walk at those speeds. I only have the little 150 K-planes too, which are all the way up anyway at speed.
Big difference between my Allison and my Pantera, and I use them in two completely different manners. 0-100 in the Allison is almost instant too, which is an awesome rush.
Good luck though in your endeavor.

I'm guessing around 600-625hp to get 85mph? Not sure 800hp will give you 100mph but probably damn close! I think if you didn't have to hang the boat out by trimming for every last mph then 100 could be done safely in the right conditions. It's when you trim out for that last 2 or 3 mph when chit can get scary real quick!

I believe with the right set-up 100 is attainable with 800 hp. I was getting into the low 90s with what is now Onesick's 24 w/ significantly less than that. That was spinning a 29 Mirage around 5500 if I recall right. It has been awhile. And yes, you want to run a touch of negative tab at those speeds.

If you think a 100 mph is something cool, think about it twice and three times. I did 102 in the Mig28 and it got very loose without any trim, I had plenty of ponies to continue. However, it was not fun playing with the wheel to get her under control. Been there done that ! take it for what is worth.....
