is 400rwhp over the top?

im building my engine at the moment and im hoping for 400rwhp do you think its possible with the following mods?

stock 5.7lt bottom end, patriot ls6 style stage 2 heads with 2.055''in/1.6''ex, titanium retainers, patriot dual valve springs, hand finished ect ect (before losing faith in the heads check out the flow results i got from them after a tidy up and hand finish) comp cams 228''/230''@.50dur .571''/.573'' lift 112 lobe sep, 1.8 crane gold quick lift rockers,ls6 manifold,80mm BBK throttle body, 25% underdriven pulley,plitfire plugs and leads, custom mafless tune, 1 3/4'' custom headers and a twin 3'' exhaust with x section without cats (this car also doesnt have power steering or air conditioning)

now for the bad part it has a turbo 400 trans with a 3200rpm converter and a ford 9 inch diff with 3.89:1 LSD gears

what do you think i will get?

lift intake exhaust
.100'' 77 cfm 68 cfm
.200'' 148 cfm 125 cfm
.300'' 219 cfm 176 cfm
.400'' 264 cfm 218 cfm
.500'' 304 cfm 237 cfm
.550'' 315 cfm 242 cfm
.600'' 325 cfm 246 cfm
.650'' 332 cfm 249 cfm (DANGER LEVEL)

are those the actual flow #'s from the heads, when you were done hand finishing? I make 428/405 witht he stage 2 6.0 l's and a 224/0.581 cam. Longtubes, no cats, underdrive pulley, and ported throttle body.

Well, my cam only and bolt on car made 403 rwhp with a 224ish cam thru a m6 with a steel driveshaft and a 12 bolt with 4.10's.. and all the power accessorys are there too, I'd think that your setup should be 400 with no problems at all.

Oh, and I also have cats on the car too... magaflow high flow ones, and a LM, so there's really no muffler, but the cats are still there, for what it's worth.

You should be over 400 to the wheels with no problem.

Dude, he has an A4 car. It's a lot harder to break 400 rwhp with an A4 vs. an M6 car.

Well, the vehicle's weight isn't going to have any effect on power output, but if that 2600 lbs isn't a typo (my '99 Camaro SS weighed 3650), it will sure as hell be fast!
