An EFR turbo would get him there like you said the 7670...the only problem I see in going with a big Efr or a s3 series is fitment

That is sad that the 362 is too big, i just remember that one got matched up before. I did not know it was put into a 200 series

If you want to bring the car back down we can set you up with a custom manifold and turbo that will reach that easily. Your issue your going to have is the motor at that point. On ryans car we had to back off the power because the block wasnt girdled. 30psi tore up the head gasket with ARP head studs installed. Give me a call when you get a chance and il fill you in on some of the stuff we have been working on down here

With the fact a 300 series turbo isn't even gonna whistle until near 6000 rpm, I would go the HTA route. If you really wanna have a sweet setup, look into the larger EFR turbo that has already been mentioned. Would be interesting to see if it fit behind the firewall.
You could get Treadstones manifold and do a 35r series turbo also. That should do 600 HP on E85 easily.

My headgasket never even leaked and looked good when I took it out. The motor lasted for quite some time without the girdled block at 30 psi. It was the times I tried to go to 32-33 that broke it. As long as the piston clearance is good to take the heat it should last a good while. 30 would be my max on a stock block.
