Default What are some good upgrades for the 5.9 360?

I have read a lot about all the goodies for the hemi but i have the 2003 laramie with the good ole gas chuggin 5.9L 360. YEAH BABY!!! Anyway, would like to get some info on simple mods like cam and intake, heads? Whatever. No budget really but dont be rediculous either. I can do the mechanical work myself but any machining will have to be done by the pros. Looking at trying to get 400 ponnies out of her if that's possible. Also, i'll be moving to Round Rock Texas here in about a month so anyone out that way have machine shop recommendations? Thanks!

For the power you're after, stroke it! www.krcperformance.com is the King of 408 strokers with these 5.9's.

I had an '01 4x4 QC 5.9. I had the B&G flash. Crower 1.7 roller rockers were the 2nd biggest hp gaining mod I did. PPH headers, APS 52mm tb, airaid cai, u/d pulley, flowmaster, and I pulled the kegger intake off and shaved the runners 1 3/4". I ended up with 382rwtq below 2500rpms and 245rwhp up top. I tried the M1 and got killer hp but lost too much tq for my 4x4 to get off the line.
