Call Cartek and ask them for Mark's package :D. It ran 11.19, and is great for a daily driver.

I've had excellent results from them.

I'd go with a tuner thats close to you in case you need follow up service. It sounds like Norris Motorsports would fit this bill. Good luck.

What are you looking for? Emissions? Do you want a little rumpity-rump in the idle? Are you going to drag race, road race, or daily drive? Before we can get into the specifics of what you are going to need and can suggest anything, we need to know you wishes. With a 6-speed, 400 is extremely easy! With a good sized cam, I would be looking for 420+RWHP with LT headers, intake, and pulleys and you will have a very strong curve (lots of power under the curve, not just at peak).
Good Luck,
