Turbo, supercharger, or nitrous...or a nicely built stroker. Any of them will be able to accomplish the task with relative ease if the right parts are used and its built properly.

A 306 w/ a blower isn't gonna do it by itself. An otherwise stock 302 bored over with 10 PSI will only get you around 330 - 340ish HP. Add some spray to that and you'll get there though.

bone stock 302, put a turbo kit on it and youll hit 400rwhp easily. and itll still be streetable because when not in boost the motor will run like its stock
