either way first mods u deff should do is.,.

intake
tb/plenum
exhuast
headers
gears
tuner

the list can go on but those are prolly what u wanna get done first
that will give u a good start maybe anywhere from 25-40 rwhp

then deff do a pi swap which should do around 40 hp itself

id stay aaway from the turbos n superchargers thought just go all bolt ons IMO

good luck

Most of my buddies have new edges with full boltons and they all dynoed under 300hp.

If your trying to get to 400 either at the flywheel or at the wheels a blower is the cheapest option. Hands Down. Your goin to spend thousands on boltons, PI swap, Ported Heads, Cams, Lt and Full exhaust. and still make about 300 rwph if your lucky.

Might be cheaper to just start with a new edge or built motor than trying to get 400 out of a non-pi setup.

You probably want to start with a PI swap, then some kind of F/I with supporting mods. That will be the easiest way to do it by far, and the cheapest in the long run.

PI swap with fully ported heads, Cams, FI: i would suggest a KB supercharger. That should get you close to 400 rwhp.
