Default Chip and exhaust?

I bought a borlla exhaust but no y or x or h pipe and i also bought a super chip. I was thinking about a 3:73 rear end gears but do you think with the exhaust and the chip it will be enough to push the car around 400. Im looking to get to 400rwhp and up any suggestions???

It will take nitrous or heads/cam to get 400+ RWHP. You'll pick up 10-12 RWHP with the Borla over the stock exhaust, and I'll be surprised if you pick anything up with the Superchips tuning. What year is your car, and what transmission do you have? With a catback, you should in around 320 or so RWHP. It varies from car to car.
