Stroke the motor, 5.3+ crank, more compression, ported heads and big throttle body, electric fans, roller rockers, bigger cam. N2o

are you looking for 400 on the crank or the tire?

If cheap is what your after just slap a N/X proton nitrous shark nozzle kit on it and jet it to 75hp. Summit Racing p/n nex-20421-10 it's 472$ that will get to your goal and then some for under 500 bucks.

Also go a step colder on plugs and gap a little tighter. You can always add on to it later down the road for more power.
