Just so you know you're going to get flamed for not uing the search button. The two most common heads AI and Lloyd Elliot. With a fairly modest cam and those heads from what I've gathered most make anywhere from 365-410whp. Of course there are always variables with peoples setups. There's some that go pretty radical and make a lot more power than I'm going to with my LE2s. With my setup I'm hoping for somewhere around 390-400.

You will not be disappointed in Advanced induction or LE. I went AI and could not be happier...I think both are good companies. If you are on a budget go with Lloyd because they are a little cheaper. I think AI would produce a little more power from most results I've seen. For the price LEs are worth it over almost any other hand ported head I've seen. If you want the most power I would say Ai. You will be pushing it to get 400+ with les although I have seen it done. I've seen tons of AI stock bottom end well over 400 on here.

exactly what he said.
With a 350/355 motor and the stock PCM rev limit, you'll likely never need any more head than that. In fact, they're turning out over 500 rwhp through an A4 on a SR stroker with factory PCM.
Those heads with their matching cam picked me up 120 rwhp, over what was already a well tuned bolt-on setup.
