Default ? about heads/cam

i have an '02 A4 WS6 that is going to be my daily driver. i was wondering if anyone could give me a ballpark # of how much rwhp i could get from a heads/cam setup w/o spinning past 6,000rpm. im looking for 500rwhp n/a on a 346 motor but i dont quite know if thats reasonable goal or not. if not i will probably go back to my original plan of an FI setup.

I don't see how you could ever get 500 rwhp N/A at below 6000 rpm out of a 346. You might do that on a 502 cid big-block . . .

Youll NEVER see 500 rwhp out of a NA 346, youll even have a hard time getting 440 out of a daily driver.

For a 346 you're gonna need heads, cam AND a power adder to get 500+RWHP. It's probably not a great idea for a stock bottom end if you went with a blower either.

If you want that kind of power NA, you're going to have to build a stroker motor IMO.
