You dont have 300HP coming from that motor. Any way you look at it you dont. It might feel that way, but its not. You might be running 270-280. Those heads are really holding you back, even with a set of vortecs you need a pretty dang big cam to even approach 350+ HP.

Maybe a set of nice AFR heads would get you up in the 400hp range. Your just gonna need a HUGE cam to do that without nitrous. Wont be too daily drivable, but I guess thats part of the fun of having a 400+hp 350.
