300 hp is the maximum HP that the stock ECM can produce. I would use a T3-T4 hybrid. The kit you are looking at has a poor oil controll problem. I would stay with the stock crank and overbore .020 if possible. As for the cam you will need at least 525L 215D@ .050 and a CL of app 115*. I personally would spend the money on a cylinder head and i recommend contacting BO. He also can help you with one of his cams. My car is around 450 HP and is very streetable. Hope this helps TOM
