Actually I think the 288 would be a better place to start because it is less oversquare and with fewer main bearings it can spin faster. Of course there is no replacement for displacement, but if the objective is turn cash into smoke then a blower on the 288 would achieve that objective.

On diesel trucks they are now using compound turbos. These are really impressive performers to drive, but they don't have a long life expectancy and are not very rebuildable. How these people obtain the cash to waste defies my imagination, which is why I have to settle for a bone stock modern car that turns the quarter mile as fast as a 1961 Chevrolet Corvette and retails for under $20,000.
