cams for sure, do them before the tune, b/c you'll need to tune it after the cams anyways (save some green). How high are you going to push the boost?
Maybe you'll hit 400WHP on the butt dyno
Good Luck

even with e-85, on a safe conservative tune it will be impossible to hit 400 with evo8 turbo in my opinion....not worth it....
atleast get the 9 turbo with all supporting mod and e85... THEN you can do it

Its possible on the VIII turbo with the 10.5 to hit 400whp. You can even get more TORQUE out of it which is what you really want. On E85 I put down 410whp and 445wtq on a non ported completely stock 10.5 VIII turbo. IT CAN BE DONE!

spend a little time looking on the cite, there are many pages out there that help 1st timers know what to buy first. Modding for Newbs (i think this is the name of it) is a good one. But I would say you are defintaly going to need licp, s2 cams(springs and retainers), alch. injection, with these you will be right around 400
