Default 350rwhp w/exhaust, intake, tb? & doing aftermarket valve springs on a stock-cam'd car

Alright, first question- Can I make 350rwhp with these mods:

-CAI
-Longtubes, X pipe, 2.5" Piping all the way through, no cats
-Ported TB
-Afr cleanup/tune

It's a 01 motor so it has the ls6 intake manifold already.

Next question- Upgrading the valve-train on a car with a stock cam.

Reason being is that i'm going to be doing some more road racing this year, and I know the stock valve train will not be up to the task. This engine will see 6000-6100 RPM's MAX on the road course. Normally it'll be between 5600-5800 RPM's. So what should I do? Slap some comp 918's and call it a day? PRC Duals with titanium retainers? (Those fit stock heads right?) Stock or hardened pushrods?

Thanks alot guys!

I would say 918's for a stock cam, the seat pressure can easily control the stock lobe's ramp rates and the beehive is a lighter spring allowing for easier revving.

From the looks of his sig i'd say he had the pulley, full exhaust, and ram-air. Anyone's opinion on the whole valvetrain setup though? What about the pushrods?

hardened pushrods and call it a day until oh, the 80k mile range and then, only then if you have pushed it hard for long amounts of time, change the valve springs.

Haha, so many opinions. Some say 918's, some say PRC, some say LS6, haha. Hardened pushrods does sound like a good idea though.

hp varies between each dyno, why do you NEED 350rwhp?
