Question Cam & Heads ,What do you Guys Think?

I was Wondering what you Guys think of this cam and heads combo?MTI X1 cam with Patroit Stage2 LS6 Heads?What kind of power will this make?Or should I just save for MTI LS6 Stage2's?See the Core Charge is The Only Reason I dont buy MTI's Heads right now,it all boils down to that 1200.00 I can put else where on things I need such as drag shocks and air bag
What to do????

I think that would be a very rock solid combo and through your A4 i would expect you to make between 400 and 410RWHP!!!! Should run nice and STRONG but personally i would pay the extra $1,000 or so and go with heads that are a little more proven and battle tested such as MTI heads, Absolute Speed, TEA, etc!!

With the PP ST2 5.3's and a TSP 231/231 I put down 395 on a mustang dyno through an A4. Excellent combination IMO.
