Unless you plan on FI, look at something slightly larger, you will want it sooner or later anyways.

Something like a 224/226 .588 114lsa would keep your car VERY street friendly but give you a nice power increase, much more notable than an ls6 while still driving similar.

You are looking at about a 20Rwhp increase with a tune.

360 or 370.. A Zo6 on average with full exhaust will put down about 385Rwhp.. They have ls6 heads.. I don't know if you are an A4 or M6..

If you are an M6 and assuming you have an 02, you should be right around 365Rwhp..

EDIT::: Looked at some of your other threads and believe you are an A4.. You will be closer to 355Rwhp..

What did you put down with your current mods when you got a dyno?

If doing a heads cam i would say at least go a little bit bigger. There are alot of cams out there that would be a better choice if you are not going FI. In the long run you would be happier. The LS6 cam can be sold to a FI guy for probably 100 bucks for a quick sale towards a new cam.
