It won't be 400 BHP, you'll maybe get 15 or 20 BHP at a push from a good map. My standard D2 S8 made 313 BHP on the MRC dyno, that's about what they see usually, they commented they've not seen them make 360 whereas James' old car did 362 standard... Anyway, welcome to the forum.
One day, I hope, this will be recognised as my car. I know I've only owned it for10 months so far, but....

And welcome from me too!
