Default 400 RWHP stock heads how close will I be?

current cam and mods in sig...
car put down 334 RWHP on a mustang dyno before the C1 cam
I plan on going with a GTP240 or something like that 226/226 .591/.591 112 LSA,LS6 intake ASP pully and maybe a ported throttle body. How close will I be to the 400 RWHP mark? Any other mods besides heads and a eletric water pump that might help me? plugs, wires?
thanks for the help, Dane

With an M6 you might get close. I'm close with just a Hot Cam in my A4, but I run 1.8 rockers. But I'd guess you'll need a new intake to get there. (LS6 or LSX)

If you are set on breaking the 400rwhp mark, you might want to check out HPE's S-cam. They are making some some good numbers with that cam

Yea I had the car tuned with boltons at APE here in the Detroit area and i here they are one of the best in the area. I belive I get a discount on a return tune too...

HPEs S cam looks good but I think its too big for me. In the summer my car is my daily driver so i need it to be very streetable.

look into futrals cams. they are puttin down awesome numbers, and retain great drivability. especially the f13.
