Asking a 210whp setup to make 350whp is asking a ton.

Not exactly true. I know tons of S2000 guys with Vortech kits running 14+ (which is more then the base 5.5 psi it comes) and have put over 60k miles on it and there is no daily driving issues at all. As long as you are not over spinning it at redline. It will still run cooler than any turbo. And a turbo isn't any different, its still spinning off of hot exhaust gasses all the time when you are on long trips.
