    Is this 350 crank or 350 wheel horsepower??

    You'll need a more agressive cam if you plan to see 350whp and some pretty serious boost numbers to make that with a blower still.

    XPZ or NIC cam would be better for that. The S1x and XP cam should make 300whp pretty well.

    I am running E85 on a topswap Gen 5 VS cam. I am very close to 300whp.

    Are you intercooling or E85?

    Hope you've got a built trans on that list, too.

    A stocker won't last worth a damn with 350~ WHP.

    GTPpower ran 11s on a stock trans. Your logic is flawed!
