to get to the horsepower you are wanting, you will more then likely need more then just bolt on's if you dont want to go forced induction. you will need to go stroker and alum heads
 






I think I may have around 330 at the crank with 8lbs of boost. Upgrades only include larger injectors, higher volume fuel pump forged pistons and Headers/exhaust.......................................You would need around 400HP to get 350 to the wheels.
 






If your looking for a solid daily and want that kind of power i would get a stroker kit. Your talking about a roughly 200hp gain over stock. For 350 at the wheels. Something in that ball park at least.
