400HP can be a tough go on that 97, not impossible, just tough!
Some tips would be obviously air improvements, especially the downpipe you mentioned, which you already have. Getting the fuel into the motor is the challenging part and despite what the ANY chip is rated for you will only ever see 70-80HP out of them because you are limited to the flow of your injectors. Performance Injectors are pricey but are vital to getting to 400HP on that rig.

I have seen guys run the snow performance water methanol kit on that truck and get some great gains, I would suggest looking in that direction as well as an intercooler.

Hope this helps!
