I doubt you'll get 400 rwhp from a 6l and a cam without all the supporting mods including some worked heads bumping CR a bit.

no problem getting 400 out of the stock truck intake. good heads with a matched cam and the supporting bolt on's will get it done. i did it with a LS1 and truck manifold. wheatley is knocking on the door of 400 with stock 243 heads that are milled.

I put down 355 rwhp on a dyno dynamics dyno with a cammed lq4 and a set of 243 heads. I think 400 rwhp is very possible with the right combination.
