Making 380hp with a stock L28 Engine

Hey guys, I'm new to the Z scene and I really like the 280zx. I was wondering how much hp this block can handle without serious modification. While I do plan on using a forced induction system, I don't plan to use a lot of boost. I want to build the car to at least keep up with my buddy's 370z.

Also wanted to add for those of you who own one of these, what are the main issues to look out for? I know rust is a big issue for these cars but I'm more concerned with anything mechanical.

Any help will be appreciated!
