The GT2568 starts maxing out at around 350hp with 550cc injectors (I think...) You'll want something bigger than that, a GT28 series. However, personally I wouldn't shoot for 400hp on stock internals. Stock is pretty safe up to around 300hp. between 300 and 400 you should at least look into forged pistons. KA ringlands tend to go on vacation with that much power.

Have you done a compression test on your engine?
