If you dont have the top end stuff I would look into the Trick Flow top end set-ups, the price is hard to beat and it will get you an honest 350HP. If you want 400+ I would stroke the motor to 331 or 347 with 10.5:1 compression which will net you your 450.

Really depends on your budget, I would stay away from the GT40 parts though for the power level you want.

Im wanting to do the same thing as you! I am planning on getting the Trick Flow Track Heat package and stroking mine to a 347. I figure that should get me pretty close to my goal of 400 to 450 HP all motor. I am planning on doing mine over a course of time. I want to get all the parts first and the get everything done all at once.
