Question Reliable 350 HP

For the sake of this post Lets say this is my last round of mods to my truck. I want arround 350 HP and my plan to achieve this is : upgrade auto tans, #4 plate, BD 40 HP injectors, KDP kit and advance timing, and larger exhaust turbo housing. This should put me right close to my HP target and controll egts

My dilemma, What size housing 14cm or 16cm, wastegate or not, and how much advance on the timing 15 or 16? Will the hx35 with larger exhaust housing support 350HP.

I have been trying to figure this out for a long while now and keep finding yes's no's and maybe's. I know this might not be the best way but its all I can afford. Can anyone tell me if this will work well and or help me with my dilemma questions.

Thank you for any help and your time.

I think you should keep you plate you have now, buy a better set of injectors form SDX, upgrade your auto, throw in some head studs, mack plug, tune your afc, timing to 17-18*, and use the 16cm or bigger housing for the 35
