You dont have to sleeve the block to achieve the power level you want. Sleeving just adds to the reliability and also gives you rooms for quite a few rebuilds if you ever mess anything up.
If I was aiming for 370whp, I would go for:
Forged Pistons and Rods
Upgraded Valves/Springs/Retainers
Dont forget to get a good EMS and have it tuned by a professional. This is extremely important to get the desired power level and maintain good reliability.
Use the search function too. Search the forced induction section for B18B/A setups so you can look at what people are using to make the kind of power you want.
Goodluck.

Depends on how much you want to spend. You can get a set of Eagle 3/8" bolt rods for cheap, and go with either some Wiseco or Arias pistons for a good price as well. Or you can spend about $900 for some of the Manley rods and $500 or so for some CP pistons. All depends on the budget you have set.
