Greddy, Helix, UR test pipe = $800
Hallman MBC = $80
Turbo XS FMIC = $500
Nesei Intercooler Piping = $480
Nesei Mini Battery Kit = $160
DC Header = $340
Ebay o2 = $70
Walbro Fuel Pump = $90
Cooling Myst Stage 3 kit =$460
HKS 272in/272ex cams =$530
ARp Headstuds =$100
other (gaskets etc) = $100
Dyno Flash Tuning =$350 returning customer
These are all my Power Mods and tune, total comes to : $4,060.
I guess this price is good as long as you do the labor but if labor is added probally another $1000 on top.

i made 381/400 on TT dynojet with a similar set-up, minus the intercooler. so i think u'll be right there with a good tune. My clutch is still holding up, although i havent launched this car yet with this setup. so i hope ur clutch is in good shape.

This guys Superz (awesome mech) who's running GT35(500whp+) with stock clutch. I think he has put at least 5k on the car with the kit. I know 400whp and couple hard launches will toast the stock clutch but I will try to make it last as long as possible.

I don't really think you have to abuse your clutch to use your power, as peak power is high in the RPM range, and you don't have to launch to use it.

Peak torque is below 4000rpm. That's where the real "power" is. How often do you get to run your car to high rpm in 4th and 5th gear? I only get to do it on a road course, but that also abuses the clutch.
You can't really do that daily driving on the street. The most fun is the "pull" you feel from mega torque, and 400wtq in gears 3-5 from a low rpm roll-on will overload the stock clutch eventually whether you launch or not.
