I would much rather drive a 350Rwhp car around that got stock gas mileage, idled like stock, etc etc etc... Then whenever I wanted I could make 400/450/475/500/550Rwhp with the flip of a switch.
It is all preference. If you want a lot of power with stock driving manners, FI is your only route. Any cam/head combo that makes 450Rwhp is going to drastically be different than a stock car. Whether an M6 or an A4. My best friend has a 224 cam AFR head combo that makes a tad over 450Rwhp, it is VERY tame but still is nowhere near stock manners (truly stock). Nitrous would keep EVERY aspect of being stock, a blower or snail would be next, then H/C would be last.
My last setup was a H/C setup (very tame) that ran good... Then I installed nitrous.. My new setup will be with a D1. I'm sure down the road I will have a turbo setup. I am not biased at all. Call it how you see it.

There are a few different ways you can get there but thats pretty much what I did on my LS6 and got it to 431.31rwhp (motor only, no bottle). I will be adding a little shot of the giggle gas to it this summer.

P.S. My car is a good weather DD and with my setup I am getting about 27-28 mpg on the highway if I go the speed limit.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamomet...-414-rwhp.html - put a set of LTs & the rest of the bolt on's on this car and you'd see 425rwhp - stock 02 Z06 cam
Cheatr cam video. I wouldnt think there's a aftermarket cam in this car.
