tips on squeezing HP out of a 400?

Superbyrd, thanks for the lead on the whiplash cams, I will definitely look into that! You're right, I am trying to find ways to get some cheap horsepower... gotta make this barracuda run as fast as it looks!

StrokerScamp, thanks for your insight on the more in depth build. When I have the cash to do that, I will definitely keep that in mind but for now, I can only dream!

Gentlemen, you've all helped tremendously.

Go for it Blackhand and yes to the RPM Performer intake, good choice.

Nobody ever said a low compression motor wouldn't run. I simply answered the OP's question about raising compression. Better pistons is the best way. Never said millin stuff wouldn't work. Never bashed your way of doing things. I'm sorry you feel the need to become so defensive. I was simply providing a different perspective.
