Smaller pulley? I am guessing you are around 9 lbs.....go to 12 and get your 400.

+1 on the smaller pully, long tubes would be a good option. they would get you alot closer to your 400rw goal.

+1, cams would net you some good power and sound sexy.

i talked to my tuner about methanol, and he said it works great but it's all about the tune. then he said with the amount of time he'd have to spend on it tuning it just right it would be very expensive so i dont think im gonna do that. whats a realistic power gain from cams or long tubes? 20-25rwhp?

Beens your blown the gains will be alot more with cams or headers.LTs would be close to the 20rwhp but blower cams would defintaly be close to 30rwhp or more.Cams on a n/a motorwould be 20-30rwhp gainbut u would proberly be in the 30-40rwhp gain
