Note: Every engine is different, but this should give you an idea of how much whp you would need. You need a baseline dyno on your specific car to get a more accurate reading of hp gains.

Assuming 350hp @the crank & 300hp baseline @the wheels.

350 bhp x Y (whp gain)/300 whp= X (bhp gain)

Example 1:
40 whp gain (assuming breathing mods & tune...just an example, I'm guessing here)

350 bhp x 40whp/300 whp= 46.67 bhp gain
Total bhp @ crank: 396.7 bhp

So roughly an additional 40 hp @ the wheels would get you close.
