I'd be absolutely floored if he made 450 cam only through a stalled auto.

If he gets over 400 I'd be happy in a properly stalled big cam car.

I would guess around 410. With it being an A4 it'll make a little less than an M6, but that's still a hell of alot for cam only.

The valves will clear stock heads, but the margin of safety that it will clear with is questionable. If you run an aftermarket head it will depend on the design on the head ie... chamber size/design, valve size, sunk valves.
