Default 400 horsepower

I have finally gotten around to putting some mods in my car. I want to get to 400 horsepower without spraying or using turbos or a supercharger and want to know the easiest most affordable but yet best way to get there. All I have right now is a lid and a gmmg exhaust, everything else is bone stock. I figured some LTs, a cam and some heads but was wanting to know what else I should do. Thanks for the input.


Monroe


Also didnt know where to put this so if a mod feels this is the wrong place and should be moved somewhere thanks.

Kooks LT headers 1 7/8, and Cam will put you at 410+ range
