Toss a cut out on there and you should gain somewhere around another 10rwhp more. Other than that i would say your right about on for your mods. Not all cam'd cars are going to hit 400rwhp.

Agreed. I think install a cut out, and remove the cats, and add a pulley. You'd be right at or around 400 RWHP. I doubt even at a measly 380RWHP - that your car is a slouch. Take it to the dragstrip dyno. 
UD pulley and a ported TB would be the last "bolt ons" that I can think of. What do you mean you don't want to mess with a cutout? Cost me $60 bucks to buy from the exhaust shop AND have them install it. It's just like your normal exhaust, then, undo 3 butterfly bolts and have 10 or so hp. By far the easiest thing in the entire world to do.
What gears do you have in your car? I would imagine with 4.10s and yours mods you will have some pretty impressive times.

I'd be happy w/ that being a cam only car.

on my first dyno pass i made 374 without a tune... when the guy set the timing and a/f ratio it only came up 6 ponies

Thread starter : If you're looking for extra power, you need to ditch the cats(I dont care how much they flow, they still restrict) and add a cut-out(you know they do have electric ones that you can close at the push of a button ? Yea..WAY too difficult....)
Mcduffy is right in that not all cars hit 400rwhp, every motor is different, every tune is different, every dyno is different. HP numbers are NOT everything.
