Default 400+ whp cam/head/intake suggestions

What's a good set up for around 400ish whp intake heads and cam set up? something fairly cheap, but still a good set up.
thanks

M6 or A4? I'm on my phone so I can't see your sig for any info if it's there. Most m6 cars can hit 400rwhp with bolt-ons and a cam; no heads required. Check out the Futral F11. Good luck!

400 is easy to hit with just a cam! shoot for 500+!

with a good set of heads you can hit the 400 mark with pretty much any cam

You looking for just the hp numbers or do you want it to perform? I've never dyno'd it but my WS6 is 3800lbs, has stock 243's, SS4000, and 3.73 gears - some quick math says it should be in that HP range but more important to me is that it runs the number I was shooting for and it is a cheap, reliable, and driveable setup.

I hit 414/372 with an LS6 intake, ported stock TB, ported 243 heads and a Pat G cam with shitty SLP LT's ORY and rumbler CB. Not bad. Got a 102 now with bigger injectors. It's at the tuner this week.

If you're doing heads and cam, 400 HP to the ground shouldn't be too hard to get done. Make sure the basic bolt on mods are covered like good induction, LT headers, and free flow exhaust. From there we can help pick a combo that will get you the HP you are looking for as well as the kind of idle and driveability you are looking for out of the car as well. We have several different options depending on your goals and budget. Shoot me a PM or give me a call with what you're looking for and we can get you fixed up with everything you need!
