Here's my observation:
You want 350 hp at the crank, or around 300 wheel horsepower.
Is it reliable? Maybe. Many get to around 250-270whp and are great for years. Then you have your bros saying they push 400-500 just fine. That's like going to the gym as a scrony kid aspiring to lift 225 on your first deadlift when you can barely move 135. Can it be done? Maybe, but you'll regret it sooner if not later.
Is this platform worth modifying and changing? In my opinion, hell yes (but there are plenty of naysayers).
What I'm getting at is you need to understand the consequences of pushing an engine outside it's normal output by 150 hp. Then again, you're also comparing it to two totally different cars. The Z and the Mustang are V6/ V8 cars vs a boxer 4.
