Do you want to do it all engine or is nitrous an option?
Is your C4 an auto or manual?
If you have an auto your D36 is going to be a limitation.
If your going all engine a good stroker short block and a head cam package from someone like Lloyd, AI, TEA etc may get you in the ball park. Don't forget the supporting mods, LT headers, stall converter if you have an auto, etc. (The supporting mods add $$$$$ up quickly.

I am helping a friend with his 93 C4 now and it was supposed to be just an AI H/C package. However, when we removed the cam the bearings were scored so we pulled the engine and the main/rod bearing were scored too so it's at the machinist's; this engine was running great and had great oil pressure, so make sure you have enough money set aside for the OH BUY the ways that will/may pop up.

You should contact some of the porters and tell them your goals and see what they suggest, and then, contact a couple of tuners and see what they suggest. Finally make a budget that is 1.5 to 2 times the estimate for the OH BUY the ways.

Good luck, that extra 50rwhp past 400rwhp seems to cost some serious money, 370-385RWHP will be a lot more economical.
