how easy? not very... take time, money and a shitload of tuning. bone stock ls motor puttin out 350 hp is gonna be a small challenge, but it can be done i would say. you def. need some good fuel management. whats your setup as of now? and are you just wondering or do you have a goal to hit 350 with a stock ls?

x2, a hybrid or t4 turbo is more in your goal.

It can be done, but unless you're trying to prove a point get ARP headstuds, valves/retainers at the least.

Yea, 350hp? Your looking at $10k+ total spent when all is said and done between turbo kit, internal upgrades, other upgrades and tune time.

No. He can put 350whp on a stock block reliably. More like 3k.

most ls motors are good for 250-300 whp on stock internals with a GOOD tune.

That will be plenty fast to beat some stock sti's and evo's.
