Default 2011 SS A6 heads and cam installed

Just got the car back from East Coast Supercharging getting heads and cam done on my 2011 SS A6. The car made great power and I couldnt be happier.
The car made 376 rwhp and 395 rwtq with cold air intake, kooks complete system 6511 with heads and catted x pipe and tuned by ECS back in december. The new mods are as follows

L99 to LS3 conversion including vvt and dod delete
tsp 229/236 cam
tsp ported heads
fast 102 intake
v max ported throttle body
circle d 3200 stall

The car made a best of 489 rwhp and 448 rwtq with the converter unlocked. This more than exceeds what I ever hoped the car would make. Big thanks to the the guys at ECS they really put everything together great and tuned the car perfect. I didnt lose the amount of driveabilty I thought i would with a cam this size. Heres an idle vdeo and a dyno pull.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTG6E6LyJyM

Thanks guys, the car did make unusally high power. When it was on the dyno Doug at ECS told me that it made way more power then he expected. Im going to the track saturday and running it on street tires to see at the very least what kind of mph i can see out of it. As Ive been told many times its not what you dyno but how it runs down the track.

Very nice. I have the same cam in my G8. It is a strong performer for sure. I have been looking at heads recently. It seems that the TSP heads are a good choice and they are really reasonable in cost.
