Default 400 hp

What do you guys think is the cheapest way to get 400hp for a 99 v6 3.8 5 speed?

you need better flowing heads, a good cam, forged stroker and a power adder. i will be there when i get the stroker kit. but i have almost 10 grand in parts[:'(]. but you also need suspension work to keep the power to ground, a new differential, and a few other supporting mods or the car won't hook or run it's best. like i need a clutch apparently.[:'(]

vortech set to 7 PSI intercooled. i have around 325 rwhp. my brother installed and tuned it. he said i shoudn't go over 350 rwhp without new internals. when i get the stroker and up the boost, bye-bye stock cobras

pfft justin has 430 on a stock block, and 325 at only 7 psi? thats kinda hard to believe, autobadges has more work then you and only puts down 290ish, oh ya, i still want to see that dyno slip
