It is surprising how fast the GT 350 is and if you are thinking of gutting it, do you also plan to run it W2W? If not , keep in mind doing a Watson rollbar and some other items will add to your safety, but also keep it easy to change back to stock or at least keep it very steerable. Keep in mind once it becomes a full blown racecar the value goes down as it now appeals to only 10% of the population. Not knocking pure racing machines, as I have been playing for 42 years, but I have counseled friends about going full blown since I spent over 30+ years selling performance machines prior to retiring. Lots of folks are turning their cars into Time Trial machines without gutting the car, so just keep in mind your end result if resale is of any concern?
