Default Wanting to achieve 300whp on y8

Hey guys how is it going? So I know that if you boost a stock y8 you can get 220whp and be safe. But I want to go 300whp. So my question is this....would I be able to achieve my goal if I just redo my head? Like cams, valves, springs, cam gear, valve guides, studs, gasket? Or am I gunna have to replace the bearings in the block also? And this would be my DD. thanks you guys.

So I will pretty much then have to redo the whole engine with pistons, rods, rebalance the crank with that to then. Would I have to get some sleeves in there to, or are the stock ones good enough? I'll be starting college soon and I want this to be like a project while I'm in school
