Default 350hp civic hatch handling

I have a 99 civic hatch with a gsr swap, but i was looking at building the motor to about 300-350hp boosted, but I am wondering if with that much horse power i will have a lot of under steer and it won't be manageable, I have been looking at running on some road tracks but with that horsepower number will I not be able to control it?

That sounds stupid fast to me.
Not a stupid idea just don't think It'd be wise to turn much with that much power.
Would be great for drag though.

that's what i was thinking, my buddy is selling his 93 240sx so i could get a good deal on it, and i could get the sr20det and do the work myself, would that be better over all to build since its rwd, i know this is a honda forum and everyone will be biased but would the part unavailability be worth the improvement for rwd

This cannot be answered. BTW you won't get understeer.

Some people can handle 500hp cars on the street and some people cannot even control a car in it's stock form.

I'm just wondering where you people are getting these horsepower numbers from?

A couple of Nissan SR20s would pull a premium one week before race wars.
