Money no object...what would you do?
Assuming you're setting the car up for pure top-end speed, not necessarily off-the-line acceleration, and if money were no object, what would you do? What's the most HP you could squeeze out of a 13B?
I have a '90 GXL in storage that hopefully someday I will do something nasty with. Every once in a while I get nostalgic and browse this board, and today is one of those day.
Sigh.

) That would put you on the safe side for anything. Ok then get a true-dual header & run straight pipes to whatever mufflers(or none). Then I would get myself a supercharger setup from www.atkinsrotary.com . Then I would get myself a small shot of NOS. Oh ya and with pulleys, an electric fan, intake, cold air box, short shifter, lose all the weight I could & put some nice 17" rims(wider in back) with good tires(drag radials for the strip). Get a good clutch with a light-weight flywheel. Personally I would get the gearing changed too. Then I would get the RE Amemiya front end(you all know what I'm talking about) and get the car painted carolina blue. O and can't forget the custom interior 
Damn I could spend alot of money.

if money is no problem and u only want top speed and still wanna keep the 13B
then throw away everything else and redesign ur body, so it can achieve a high top speed
with a right body design, a 100hp engine car can have a top speed of 200mph +

AF uses em to help the big cargo birds get off the ground on short runways.
Don't you read Darwin Awards? Some AF guy strapped one to his car in the middle of a desert. He hit 400 mph before he was able to react (too many Gs) at which point he hit the brakes which pretty much stripped off his tires, axles, etc. Shortly thereafter he went airborne and rammed into a cliff about half a mile up. Only real evidence of the guy they found were the teeth they dug out of the steering column.
Hella fast, but a one way trip.

Titan 4
As earlier stated, if top end is all you're considering.....
Modify a Titan 4 launch vehicle to accept your FD on the front.
The first 17,000 mph FD ....... that gets 1ft/50 gallons on fuel consumption.
Yeeeeehaaaawwwww!
Screw nitrous ... give me liquid O2 propellant instead :-)

I think that car is kinda ugly IMO. I would take it and drive it no doubt, but there are much better looking cars, many many better looking ones.
