Welcome to the forum. I used to live in Dearborn...thankfully I've moved.
Long tube headers to a good exhaust, Under drive pulley, lid, and a cam should get you a bit over 400.
After that you might think about getting a better stall and some new gears in the back.

Get you a good set of long tubes a nice none restrictive exhaust good stall about 32-3600 (ID GET A 3600 STALL ANY SMALLER YOUR GOING TO REGRET IT IMO)make sure you have a good lid id look into the ram air mod also a pulley, P&P throttle body, gears and a good tune FIRST... then look into a nice cam to go with that stall

look at ported TB,under drive pulley,complete hi-flow exhaust ,exhaust cut out,cold air intake ,and a frost mail order tune.you will need a 3500+rpm stall.look at a TSP or thunder racing cam kit,228* duration or more.

Long tube headers made a enormous difference on my car.
Its pretty easy to get 400hp at the crank or close..
You already have the LS6 intake so.......
SLP lid, P&P TB, cat-back or just a cutout, LT headers/OR-Y pipe. Send your PCM to Frost for tuning. If you are going for numbers only then the ram air stuff isn't gonna help numbers. Its been shown to help track times though.
Just with the little cheap stuff i've done my car is daylight and dark from stock. Headers being the one that left a smile on my face the first time I drove it.

imo go with a procharger kit, might cost a lil more than a h/c package but you will want more than 400 hp after a few months, trust me if i could do it all over again i would have done a decent cam for boost and a d1sc, gives ya alot of room to grow once you get the rest of the car up to specs, again this is what i wish i would have done, boost or bust lol
