Default T5 Maximums

Okay all you fast 5.0 guys, you should know this stuff.
Can a T5 be built up to take 400 HP and Torque and last a long time with sticky tires out back?
If so, what parts are required and/or who sells them ready to go?
Thanks,

TREMEC TKO 500 OR TKO 600 WOULD BE THE BEST WAY TO GO TO HANDLE HIGH HORSES
