Default Any 400hp cars with stock heads?

I recently ordered Patriot heads. I hope they are worth the effort. I've heard the stock heads flow pretty well. How many ponies will my heads be worth. The flow 296 intake and 233 exhausr at .600.

Guys with similar setups but smaller cams with A4's are making 406hp so I figured I would make 425+ with a M6. I also have all the bolt ons.

i havent seen hardly any A4's pull 400+ with heads and a 220 cam or smaller. 380-390 is possible. You just have to keep in mine most A4's with a 224 cam or so only dyno 355-365. Then add roughly another 35hp from the heads. But most A4's with decent cams only see 385-400. Some have pulled 410-420 but they have 230/224 or etc cams and a locked verter.

with that cam i'd say 385-410 would be great numbers. Bigger cam will help more

Terry said it well though. Dont expect high numbers.. shoot for something low then anything better is a blessing

I have a M6 car. The cam I am running is larger than the 224/224 at .200, .300 and .400 lift. Its also larger at .06 duration. The 224/224 at 114 will make less power than my cam.
