Would tracction bars work with sway bars?
So 300WHP is low boost? Would that give a 350 turbo a headache??
So if I rebuild before the turbo, what would ya replace??
PORT AND POLISH HEAD AND INTake.
Rods
sleeve the block
new forged pistons at 8.5 comp.
Please give your thoughts?
THANKS

Hondata is what I would recommend. If you are a DIYer, I would look into Crome instead as an alternative because it will be a little cheaper overall and has the same features.
Look into a stiffer suspension with adjustable shocks and good tires before you think about traction bars.
If you look at how intercooler piping is ran, you will see you don't need an intake. Sleeving is really unnecessary with the power goals you have. As long as you have a competent tuner, you should be able to squeeze a lot of power out of stock sleeves. The compression rate you are looking at is too low, IMO. I would shoot for the 9:1 to 9.5:1 ratio.
Here is what I would do since I am kind of in the same boat, but cheaper and it is my daily driver, so I can't be sending the block off for sleeving or anything that requires a good amount of downtime:
Eagle Rods
Weisco Pistons 9-9.5:1 CR
ARP/GE/AEBS Head studs
Good tune with Hondata/Crome/Uberdata/Neptune
550cc or larger injectors

Leave the head alone unless you have fully maxed out the turbo, the bottom end is strong, and want a little more power. In that case, a light cam upgrade would be beneficial. A lopey N/A cam can be run, but you will have to have some of the excessive overlap dialed out with cam gears on a dyno.
