For the sake of comparison, my car made 390 rwhp and 388 rwtq (6-speed) with only a mild cam and bolt ons. Trick Flow 228/230 .585/.585 112 LSA.

Added similar heads and ported FAST and put down 440/408. I'm sure you're losing a bit on the dyno with the A4, however I think with a milder 228 - 232 cam you would see much better power under the curve.

Thanks guys for the inputs. I have emailed Patrick G about maybe specing me out a camshaft.

Take some time to search and you'll find tons of setups similar to yours that make as much or more power with a smaller cam.
sure it has a place there are many people who run cams that big with great success. His problem is he is missing compression and his stall and gears might not be the best for his setup. I can guarantee you if he just swaps to a 230 duration keeping all else the same and tunes it for that cam he will lose power, but he will gain torque.
