Talk to Clark Steppler at Jim Wolf Technology, he has all the specifications for your build at his finger tips, assuming you go down the VVEL excluded route.

To get 400rwhp, you WILL need higher compression and significantly enhanced cam lift and duration as well as a bottom end and oiling system that will remain safe at 8800 to 9000rpm.

Once you raise the compression, you are going to seriously assess your fuel ... with e85 the obvious solution.

JUN cams and retaining VVEL will not cut the mustard - you will get close, but not exceed 400rwhp.

The other issue you will have is the ECU - the OEM ECU is not going to do the job.
