350 hp?
What would be the best route to get to my brz to my set goal of 350 hp with the car? This would also include bigger tires, etc.

Since you have a BRZ, you need STi stickers. On a serious note... Engine swap or Turbo with ultra perfect tuning. A supercharger will get you to 250ish and it will be amazing. But you specifically asked for 350. BTW since you asked...I pretty much assume getting to 350 is out of you range. The people reasonably getting to 350 don't ask...they share how they got there. |

I've always looked at it this way: I just mod and tune my car until I'm happy with how it feels and performs.. numbers are just like peen measuring contests. No one but other ego measurers give a shit.... My $0.02

seeing how you can squeeze about 300hp from a 2.0 STi w/o too much engine work... you theoretically could get 350 w/ a larger turbo and extensive internal engine work. However, like others have said, it would be cheaper to just go get a porsche.

The cheapest option would be to trade it for a 370Z.
