400 HP is no problemo with this car.
Check out Evosport and MKB (Europe), they both have great stuff for the C32!

What kind of cam did you change?
Does it make a big different?
What brand of cam are you using?

I am not a technical guy so I really cant tell you what kind of cam was put in.
All I know that it made a huge difference, especially in the higher revs. My butt feeling tells me around 30 HP or so.
You can find information about MKB here

Theres a few in the 420+ area...im sure vadim from evosport is up there

Based on Vomits trap speeds, hes getting up in that area as well.

Id be curious to see vadim at the track to see what numbers he can post...or has he posted 1/4 mile times already?
