Well, your motor already has about 345 to the flywheel...so headers should get you to your goal 
My car(it is an automatic) dynoed at 330rwhp/340rwtq with headers, lid, underdrive pulley untuned.
So, if my calculations are correct...that is about 396/408 to the flywheel
But seriously, who compares flywheel numbers?
Just get all the bolt on easy mods... headers, ported throttle body, UD pulley, lid, tune, etc, etc.

Maybe i missed this since i just skimmed through it, but the OP didn't want a head/cam package, so after bolt ons you could run a shot of nitrous to increase power even more. Sorry if you said you didn't want nitrous, i must have missed it.
