anything you want. theres so much choice.

you could go from supercharging it, to something as simple as an air intake and diablo tune. depends on how far your budget will stretch.

one of the best value for money mods are going to be new rear gears. although theres no hp gain, the accelleration difference is supposed to be amazing. and again, theres so much choice, 3.73, 4.10, 4.30 etc etc. the higher the number, the faster the accelleration will be.

if you are looking for 400 to the wheels you are going to have to go forced induction. supercharged or turbo charged. its probably possible to do it with bolt ons but be prepared to pay a fortune for it.

Pull the engine and put in a built engine.

I realized by the time I added up all the parts and
everything I could have just dropped in a motor
and been done with it.

By the time you add in the internals, cams, heads, etc
it's hands down cheaper for get something thumping
out 400HP Na and SC it down the road.

Just my opinion...
