For the size of cam you are running I wouldn't even bother with a fast. Why do you care about that magic 400hp anyway? With a 224/230 581/592 114, vig 3200, hooker longtubes, ls6 manifold, and a cutout my car only made 351rwhp! I was so angry when I saw the numbers, but when I pull up to a car with a lumpy cam and give him a run for his money I can honestly say that I like having a car with low #'s for my mods. People just don't expect the car to do sh*t and it suprises everyone!

Not much you can do really, because for one...It's not going to be cheap... and two it might require heads...
My recommendation is:
1 7/8th's Headers
Pulley
EWP
CUTOUT
That would probably get you there, but for all that money you can get heads...See what I'm saying?

lol, the magic 400, idk its just a goal of mine ive had since i first got the car. honestly as for track times, i havent ran it since stock.. i think it would be good for a mid to low 7's all motor, and on the bottle im looking for a 6.9.. My car pulls like a beast, so idk why im so concerned about dyno sheets, but i am. My car mainly sees street action, where she has some very impressive wins. thanks for all the replies guys!

How about a FAST set up? That would net you what you are looking for. I would get a FAST set up and a pulley. DEFINATELY be 400 then. You're already making good numbers for a stalled A4 car but you could do that and have it.

i picked up 34rwhp with my ported FAST 90/90.. if it were me, id get it... it will put you a few over 400 and you will have room to grow... whether it be a bigger cam, or a stroker motor.. you can always have that intake.. just a unported one would do you fine, you wont benefit too much from a port on one.. you can pick up a used combo for around 800-900...
water pump... you wont pick up much and they are expensive..
pulley.. only good for about 5rwhp max and its expensive for that little amount..
i saw where someone said cutout.. i dont know your exhaust setup, but that can free up around 15-20 hp if you have restrictive muffler and you can get a manual for around 20 bucks..
of course you could always do.......
ls6 intake and port your TB..
buy a set of used stock ls6 heads..
cheaper than a fast 90/90 you can port your heads later when you have money.. and gain a little more than you would from just a fast..
stock ls6 heads are good for 20hp.. ls6 intake is good for around 12-15hp..
then if you need to sell your intake and put it towards a fast..
BTW, you have good numbers already man... be happy, even if you dont hit 400..

You sound just like me bro. I bought a used 90/90 and just sent it off to get ported. I'm adding the intake, 85mm truck MAF, new injectors and a tune. I plan on getting it dyno'd on the same dyno that put me @ 387 cam only with current mods. (that was with a larger converter too) 400 just sounds nice too.
What's your exhaust setup?
