some build advice needed

its been a while since i been on the site and had some questions to ask you or if you could maybe help me with some ideas on a 355 build or a 383 build. first question is how much does a properly done build for each cost typically? it will be my DD so i may take it to the track every once in a while to have fun.(no slicks will go on it til i get a new rear-end) what i have already is

-LT headers
-SLP loudmouth I exhaust(replace resonator with a bullet resonator)
-CAI
-TH350 w/3500 stall(thinking of going back to t56)
-52mm BBK TB
-LE1 Heads(with all top of the line components)
-LE spec'd 232/240 .578/.574 110 LSa cam
-160 t-stat
-lt4 HD timing chain and gears
-All MSD electrical
-an extra shortblock laying in the garage for the build

Im wanting to get to 400+rwhp and into the 11s? is that possible with what i have? and my budget would be around $2000 more as i already spent a good bit.

Re: some build advice needed

Truthfully there's absolutely no reason you shouldn't be there now, pending you have good tuning.

Do you have any suspension work? By the looks of your signature you only list motor mods. If not that's where I'd put your money.

Re: some build advice needed

the stuff in the sig is what i have i was going to do all the work at once. the motor in my car now is on its last strings. so thats why i got the extra shortblock with about 75,000 miles on that.

suspension work should consist of lca's,Relocation brackets, torque arm, panhard bar, subframe connectors(weld type)? anything else? and a new stronger rear? if so which recommended i was looking into the moser 12 bolt any good ones for cheaper then $2000+?
