It's really hard to say since no one really knows for sure. Some crack at 250whp and some are good till 500whp. To me it's all in the tuning. So tuned well at 350 whp in my opinion will be fine.

Well do what you can to support them then. Block Gaurd, Posting, and great tunning. I think you could hit 350. You will obviously using all the other stuff to help that engine. IC, sprayer, bring in air from oujtside engine bay.

i think the sleeves will be fine for a while with some good tuning, maybe get a GOOD block guard welded in and a girdle, it should be fine with some good tuning.

I strongly suggest you build the block, esp for daily rapings
