Radio doesn't have to be re-tuned, just have the carrier matched so the amp has the right carrier:peak ratio. If your "super mini 8" is double shielded, it should be good for 1kw continuous so it would be fine. If it is not double shielded, you'll need some that is such as LMR240 or CQ 8x. The biggest trouble you'll have is obtaining enough current and ground for the amp and antenna. Current draw about 175a.
