You will have to get a cam to keep up with your buddy, if he is putting down 350 at the wheels. I'm told that shorty's are useless. . .I would try to gut it out with the longtubes, and hide from cops are something.

Get the longtubes, then pay off a mechanic you're friendly with to inspect your car for you
