I just picked up a set of Patriot CNC'd 243 heads with a 228/232 cam from the classifieds here, also got springs and pushrods and upgraded to ported LS6 oil pump and Ls2 chain while I was in there.
I already had LS6 intake, granitelli MAF, kooks LT, catted y, borla. And its an A4.
It made 392rwhp on load bearing dyno and I have 20x10 rear wheels, I was told it would be ~8-10% more (~430ish) on a dynojet and the wheels cost me some hp as well.
The graph is pretty flat for both hp and torque and the car pulls pretty good.
With the fast 90/90...you should easily be in your hp goals.

The H&C, springs and pushrods for $1050.
Ported LS6 oil pump, LS2 timing chain, gaskets, and bolts ~$380.
Dyno tune $450.
Here's a pic of the wheels and the dyno graph too. Like I said, I know my rear wheels are heavy and the shop said it would easily be 400+ on the load-bearing dyno if I had 17-18" wheels.
