That should put you very close to 350, but you might still be 10 hp or so short, depending on your tune and how aggressive your cams are. (and depending on the dyno)

You could always get a throttle body or electric water pump to get the couple of extra HP. If you really wanted to be sure, ported heads ($$$$) will get you there along with all of the above.

Oh yeah, don't forget safely putting that power down and slowing down with all that extra go. Suspension, Brakes, and Tires will all be important to...
All of this is exactly true. I could have went with a more agressive but i couldnt afford the other internals to go with it. Fast and cheap will never go hand in had if you shop around you can usually find a pretty sweet deal somewhere. I would say just spend what you can afford to spend. Its taken me almost 5 years to get to 337 rwhp. 350 was also my goal im so close but that last 13 hp is going to be the most expensive hp yet
