With stock heads I would say around 385hp with a good tune. Do a search for cam only ms3's and you should find out the power you will be making. Did you decide on what valve springs and rockers you are going with.

I think there are better cams out there for cam only, especially for a A4 but many do run the MS3 cam only and have great results but If you are gonna go through all the trouble in any application why not get a custom cam spec'd out and maxamize performance. Just my .02

ive also been gauging the MS3!! ive been looking up the reverse spit cams, and also a 231/237. but because im thinking of doing a 370 or 383 im looking at the ms3. yeah u can always get a custom cam, but the off the shelf cams are already proven!! it might not be the best way to go about it, but look up a guy named TRMIN8R!! hes pretty much made the ms3 famous.. those videos alone make u think bout going with a big cam!! 
I have a MS3, Made 400 r.w.h.p. through a TH-350. I've had a T-Rex, G5X-3, and a HPE S-Cam, out of them all I like the MS3 the best. I have stock heads on the car. I did daily drive it for a few weeks, wasn't bad even with a TH-350.
For valve springs i went with the prc dual springs. They have a max lift of .650 ands can last 25 to 30,000 miles before changing. For Rockers i went with orange Harland sharp 1.7's non adjustable. I had 88,000 miles on the stockers and since i was in there decided to go ahead and upgrade. If you motor is low miles you can reuse your stock rockers.

I just ordered the HPE S cam how did you like it? Where did your powerband start? how was the mid/toprange in comparison to the MS3? I have a bolt on car with stock heads and bottom end with a A4, 3.42 gears, 3000 stall, LTs, ORY, exhaust, and LS6 intake do you think the S cam will be too aggressive?
I have thought about going with a bigger cam such as the ms3. Have you thought about rodbolts? The earlier models 98-99,and some 2000 had problems with the rod bolts when spinning that high in the rpms. I think it was a guy named mystic98z who put in the ms3.He said it was fine,but about a month later the bottom let go. I put in Katechs about 2 months ago just in case I go with a BIG cam such as the ms3.I happen to have a 98.Thats why I got the rodbolts.Search and see what you come up with.
I have an MS3 and this is my only car that i drive to school to work and were ever else i need to go. I reused my stock rockers with 107k on them so i dont think you have to change them. For valve springs i used the patriot dual golds. They have Super 7 locks which dwarf the stock locks. The PRC springs use the stock size locks. I love this cam i made 410 RWHP and 376 RWTQ through an M6. My tuner said with a ported TB, Z06 MAF, and Smooth Bellows i could make around 425 RWHP.

As far as rod-bolts go I did here some 98 and 99 models had some issues. One of my friends has patriot heads, 233/239 cam, and 150shot. Spinning the motor past 7,000-rpm with untouched bottom end. Its a 98 camaro with over 115,000 miles. So it's really luck.
