Default 04 Avalanche

I have been on here for awhile and just mainly lurk for spurts, but I paid the truck off just before spring and am now finally back to work after being off from a work injury for 4 months. So now I am ready to start playing. The truck is stock besides some bigger tires, I have a gearstar level 2 built more for towing endurance, on the way along with an 1800 stall converter. My question is, what is the best way to reach 400whp. Also, I tow with this fairly frequently as well as daily drive it and was a bit hesitant to go any higher on the stall but was wondering if i could go higher and keep the DD and towing functionally sound?

Intake, exhaust, cam, and tune is probably all that's needed.

Could also change the intake manifold to a tbss/nnbs, but I don't think you would need to.
