Are you talking RWHP or Engine HP? .. I am sure there are a few reliable Heads and Cam options with headers and tuning that wll get your over 400rwhp

Good luck ...

If you are talking 430 Engine HP .. You should be able to do that with stock heads .. just a cam, pulley, headers, lid and tuning ..

If that is your goal get a cam and long tubes. That will get you close to 450fwhp. If you want to make sure you don't break things get a 12 bolt. If its an A4 (automatic tranny) get a stall put in. If your plan is to beat the Z06 in a drag, add some drag radials and practice launching it.

formula's pretty simple... high flowing heads and the biggest cam you can shove in there with those heads.

and remember, peak HP isn't everything... area under the curve matters as much if not more than peak numbers. Also, all the HP in the world isn't going to do you any good without the proper suspension, gears, tires, clutch, driveline, etc. to put it to the ground effectively.

Lastly, with that kind of power, definitely get a 12 bolt. If you set up a car up with that kind of power to launch properly, you'll grenade your 10 bolt for sure on an M6.
