depends on if the heads are stock, and the cr. I would guess 420-440rwhp but i dont know the specs of that cam, but i think it's big.

didnt notice you had no fast intake, it depends on the cam specs but i would say they are normally worth around 15-20rwhp. You should dyno more than him anyways though because you have an m6.

FAST 90/90 is good for an extra 15-20HP up top
- auto, stock heads, and 10 bolt, 400-410
- m6, stock heads, and 10 bolt, 420
- m6, stock heads, and 12 bolt, 400-410
- m6, PRC 2.5 5.3 heads, and 10 bolt, 460

that being said, you should be at 430-440 depending on the 317s

definitely in the low 400 ball park, put it on the dyno and find out. that's one way to be sure. nice buy though

Hey Krazy...
Got the FAST,85mm Maf,FT lid on yesterday with an unfinished tune and put down 416/365 to the wheels... With the LS6 intake, stock maf,clear lid i made 387/372... So... do the math. ended up gaining 19rwhp on my stalled A4 without a good tune... (Dyno went down on my second pull)

This is power that i could "FEEL"...Not too bad..
