Just did 222 cam, 5.3 CNC'd heads, headers, rockers etc. Its all in the sig. and I made 428HP and 408 torque. Havent been to the track yet to know trap speeds but that will be soon. The car was completly stock before I started so I guess I picked about 120 HP roughly.

Nice. You're definitely good for 11's.

Big time setups usually go for 480+rwhp and run over 130 trap with a lightened car.

Some cam only setups are in the 10s at about 130 making 400rwhp through a huge stalled automatic and lightened car.

yea the key to running 10's is the huge stall... but a good number to shoot for with heads cam bolt on is around 450-460ish hp

Running 10's and 130mph is fairly rare. There is only a couple cam only cars doing that and one of them is an M6 and there closer to the 450 rwhp mark and super light.

Also, the power seems to vary drastically depending on your total setup. I've seen 420 to over 500 rwhp be had.

I think on average for most head/cam/bolt on street car's are probably closer to 118-124 mph depending on extreme of mods and A4 or M6. My .02

i'd say 118 to 124 mph also in a full weight street car.

my 423 rwhp will get me to 120 mph on street tires, only 119 on slicks though.

if u go with heads and cam, i would call one of the sponsors and get them to help u to go with the best combo, thats where its at. Since u are running an auto, go with at least 4400 stall.
