How much power are you looking to make and what kind of budget do you have to work with?

I'd like to get between 400-600 hp and try to keep it between 8-$10,000

With those numbers, to the wheels, you'll be needing some sort of power adder; blower, turbo and/or nitrous.

Also you'll want to do some driveline upgrades otherwise that kind of power will only be good for a smoke show; look into some traction bars, drag radials and a locker for the rear end.
