It would depend somewhat on your other mods. But, I would guess, the upgrade would get you maybe about 20rwhp. That's if the heads are unported and stock ls6 cam.

You might pick up a little more then with those mods. I'd guess you'd dyno 360 or so at the wheels.

well, i installed ls6 heads and ls6 cam. the texas speed heads ported stage 1 for aprox $900 are great for the price, the ls6 cam was about $220 at summit. its way to mellow. i have an A4 and was worried about over camming it. it idles smooth between 600/700 rpm. meaning you can't even tell it has a cam! especially if you have a stick go with a bigger cam. well my car was throwing an egr code, running lean at 13.8 a/f, and i did not have the torq mgmt system turned off. my car only dynoed 336 rwhp. i believe it should be around 350-360 auto and 360-375 stick. just my 2cents.
