My 83 chevy has that kind of power so I'm fairly used to it but I fully understand where your coming from I have kids and can't stand idiot drivers lol I have already decided on a few upgrades but I am starting with a tune as soon as I figure out which one is the absolute best as far as tune shop and what I get for my money

If you want 400whp, go straight to a blower. Skip all the bolt ons for now. The blower kit will get you there, maybe a little more. Then you can do a full exhaust and some additional cooling/supporting mods, but many of the "off the shelf" blower kits are made to go on an otherwise stock car.

Welcome to TMS btw!&

And remember your brakes. The stock brakes are OK for the original power and typical driving. But they may be disappointing under harder use, especially with more HP.

If you are thinking of any track time, look hard at the brakes as well as the motor.

And welcome!
