Have - Stock 88 F- Body 305 Want - 350 Horsepower
i have a 88 F-body with a 305 i really want to get about 350 horses out of this thing, do you guys have any ideas on how i might be able to do this with bolt ons, and non major engine work cams n heads are ok but boring out the engine i will not be able to do

Quite a task. Some starter questions. Flywheel or crank? Biggest thing, what kind of injection are you running now? All I can say, without boring/stroking it:
Heads (SR Torquers maybe)
Cam
Stealth Ram
Bolt on's
That's to start and may not even see 350rwhp...ah you could always juice it

There is no replacement for displacement. Also, How fast you wanna go actually means How much you have to spend.
You need the EPROM to be reprogrammed if you really want to make power. You also need to change induction and exhaust and definately the heads and cam.. 350 at the wheels means a tad over 400 at the crank or thereabouts.

It can be done with a GOOD intake possibly even single plane, a 650cfm carb, a pretty aggressive roller cam and a stout valvetrain because this HP will be made at a pretty high rpm. Dan Burke's car for example uses stock 84 heads ported by himself, he has a flat tappet cam in the 218/224 range with probably .480"'ish lift, I would go a step more aggressive, again matched with a carb and single plane intake. Sure the 305 will lose torque by doing this but if this guy wants 350hp and doesn't care about torque production, that's his bag.
Dan B's car I believe made 275hp at the wheels thru an auto trans at that(correct me if I'm wrong Dan!), and was trapping 101+mph in a full weight car with terrible traction I think he could have done more head work, more cam, and Hp would have bumped up more. Maybe even run a .015" head gasket and mill the head even for a comp. ratio closer to 10:1. Goodluck!
Oh yeah and if you're doing the EFI route, An LT1 intake or StealthRam might get the job done. along with hours of tuning, blah blah blah.

HP can be measured at the crank with an engine dyno. That is when they strap the engine down to a dyno and figure out the power. Chasis dyno is when the strap the car down onto rollers and measure the HP. If you have 100 HP at the crank, after going thru the drivetrain and what not, you might have 80 at the wheels.

In all honesty, you might want to consider a 350.
I think my post up top should net you close to what you're looking for though. Perhaps browse www.stealthram.com
