350W at 160 lb is 4.8W/kg which is a seriously ambitious target, requiring a LOT of dedicated effort and you might never get there. Not trying to put you off, just being realistic. I would aim for 4W/kg as a starting point, which is 290W at 160 lb. Even that is a major challenge, but more realistic.
