Default 450rwhp through an a4?

hey guys, what kind of engine combos make power in this range through an a4? Im looking for something dependable and very reliable. Would a 402 be a good start? : I have thought about going with a procharger on my stcok block but they seem to be more trouble than what they are worth. confused:

If you start with a 402 like you indicated, 450 rwhp should be easy to get. With a good set of heads, you should get at least 500 rwhp...

2c5s....please elaborate. Is that on juice, boost...what!!! Come on man, just....say...it!!!!!

oh, well, through my 408 a ls6 manifold and ported tb (im still with a ls1 manifold/tb...) i should be able to hit 480ish at the wheels. Now, maybe i could get 490.....maybe stretch it to 500rwhp with a 90mm setup and a hell of a tune....

oh yeah, and no false knock!!!!
