You will need bigger injectors but there are some making 600 - 650 at the rear wheels through the E4OD on a stock bottom end.
 
I made 634rwhp and 706rwtrq on a single 76mm turbo. AFR 185 heads, Edelbrock EFI Spyder intake, Stock 184k shortblock,trans,and rearend.

You can make good power with the stock parts!!
 
I made 650 at the wheels with my single turbo. You will need bigger injectors, I have 60's in mine, and a bigger capacity fuel system.
 
thanks for replies... now can anyone tell me any exhaust manifolds that are good for 351w? i want around 650 rwhp and a good turbo... gimme links to things that i need please Lol... will be really helpful
