Check out www.thunderracing.com, maybe with one of their cams and some longtubes, larger mass air, and bored throttle body you may reach that number. The reason i put thunderracing is b/c they put some dynos with the cams.

400 RWHP can be and has been done quite a few times allready on stock heads. I however do not see it happening with a Hotcam and RR or whatever. My choice, if stock heads was my plan, would be to use the new "reverse split pattern" cams that are available through Thunder Racing.

What's the reason for changing the rockers? The stock ones will work just fine with a cam swap. Also, there's not a chance that you're hitting 400 RWHP with the Hotcam. I've seen over a dozen graphs on Hotcammed cars, and the best I've seen is 372 RWHP with the average being in the mid-360's. These are all M6 cars, too. I would highly recommend stepping up to a better cam. I have a 224/224 Comp XE-R grind in my auto, and it idles quite a bit better than a hotcam does. It also makes more power. 
(361 RWHP unlocked, 380 RWHP locked). 380 RWHP with stock heads through an A4 isn't too shabby. 
The last car that left our shop with the G5 cam put down 390 RWHP to the wheels with stock heads, FYI. If you are wanting something other than the G5, then we can get it for you as well. Just give me a call at the shop, and I can help you out.

The reason he wants a diff rocker ratio is to gain more lift from the Hotcam...hence more power, but money to horse ratio its still a bad decision...
Well, the G5 cam makes real good peak numbers but do a search for track results on it and you will see thats all that cam does...peak numbers, the only person to run well with it is Bear on ls1tech.com from what I have seen. The TR224 will give you more power and better ET honestly IMO. One of my buddies runs a G5 cam with MTI S2 heads and he still gets smoked by B1 guys left and right lol
