Start by figuring out where you want to be, how do you plan to use the car, how much time and money do you want to invest, etc.

The link that Patrick points to should get you the basics and enough information to start asking and answering the right questions.

Unless you do something to the heads 400rwhp auto is not that easy. But H/C it can be done with a fairly medium sized cam.
