well if your looking for only 300-350 hp, i would either look at the holley systemax kit or the trickflow kit ,, then u would have about350-370 hp at the flywheel with either setup.....with some gears like u say and some mickey thompson's u could easily be in the mid 12's

The trickflow kit will get you at your goal with headers and full exhaust.

Where did you read that Trick Flow didn't make good cams? Back that statement up b/c you're gonna have people on here tell you different.

Trick Flow, Steeda, Crane, and even FRPP make good cams. Some people don't prefer the alphabet cams anymore since they are single whereas some of the Trick Flow, Steeda and others make dual ones.

Yes. People are going to disagree with you. I won't be one of them.
