i reckon it not possible. if you mean 350rwhp.
Some guys have aound 280 with plenum, cats, exhaust, headers, pulleys, intake etc... possibly even cams

Why get the plenum when you could get the whole manifold with more hp from top secret and ssr eng? Just my two cents that it would boost that maybe up to 290 or so. Maybe some bigger injectors and nice fuel system too. Thats with the headers, exhaust, pulleys, and intake.

you could do it. keep in mind that the jgtc vq35 makes 500 crank hp. you would need new internals, heads, all the boltons, likely as stand alone ecu, cams, the whole nine yards. likely cost 30000+

or you could cheat and get a stroker kit with some boltons for about half that

How does that have anything to do with just the manifold? I was talking about just the manifold not the heads and bottom end componets.

just to throw some controversy out there i recently saw a Z who had intake headers exhaust cats and pulleys with a plenum and uprgraded injectors, with a fcon pro stand alone system, who is pushing 313 rwhp.........its all in the tuning with this car gentlemen. but i also do agree the only real way to get some power is F/I i am trying to figure if i myself wanna go that route, but dont wanna blow the engine......

No I think you can get a little higher than that if the car didnt already have new headers. If you have an auto, I would suggest you get a high power tq converter.

No one ever says it, but you could up the compression ratio and get higher flowing heads in addition to all the bolt ons.

If you size a cam correctly, increase the air flow through head and valve work, increase the redline, and up the CR, you will make a lot of power. I mean, how do you think muscle cars with 2 valves per cylinder get 800 HP out of engines that are only twice the VQ's size?

How practical is that for an everyday driver?

Well, if you pick a race cam and up the compression ratio a whole ton (like 14:1), not at all.

But, if you bump it to 11.5:1 (a 911 GT3 is 11.7:1) and raise the rev limiter, you could make up for any loss down low and make a substantial amount up top.

You might be able to do 12:1 if you have 93 octane, or even 12.5 with water injection. A lot of 300ZX guys do it for high boost, but a similar setup works for NA (with a different sized atomizer from what I understand).

A whole manifold from SSR runs about $350. Not exact, but it is in that range of money and it is well worth it. Just look at the quality of the craftmens ship. This item will surely help bigtime when trying to get that extra air into the engine for those hps.

Sorry, amit made a mistake, it runs $995, but they said at first it would run around $600. They say on their site they test it on a twin turbo G35 with 6psi and got 407wrhp. Don't know how true this is but seems nice. Could always go with the TS manifold. Looks really nice and would go good if you could customize the greddy kit to fit it. Would probly be real tight and cost a crap load though.
