its will depend on your tune, but a set of stg 2 ls6 heads or 5.3 from patriot or PRC's should get you there. AFR's or ETP's are the more expensive, but proven heads FWIW.

I think the Dart 205's would be the best choice on a budget, that's what I would get with that cam.

Would you not want to buy the heads first and then the cam that works best with those heads. Just curious on why you bought the cam first.

Who is it that CNC's stock heads for $400?

That's probably all that is needed, mine did it with out the cnc, just a good hand port.

420 to the wheels is not very easy to achieve with an a4, I am hoping for 420-430 to the wheels with my set-up

Don't forget TEA or MTI both have a great set of heads for the money.

After researching for MONTHS, my money went to TEA. They seemed to give the most consistent power for the $$.
