I hit 392 RWHP with the 224 .567" on 115. Heads are LS2 (no porting). Had LG Street (crap) headers at the time. FWIW, I gained 4 HP with the LS6 intake 
So as you have read, you will likely need heads. How much is 10-15 HP worth to you??? Would you really be upset with 398 RWHP? I was, then i got over it. Two years later, I am glad that I didn't drop over $2k on heads for a few hp. I used that cash to buy a new truck for my daily driver.

A 224 cam gave Nickolbag enough umphhhh to yank a front wheel off the ground. I really think he has a fat chic in the trunk though !!

No fat chick. Just a big boat anchor.

I got air too
Sorry to hi-jack but I did the same kind of lift with my Silverado. I hooked up my trailer to load up the Z for the track. I forgot to unhook the tractor chain attached to the trailer & pine tree.
Stopped me dead in my tracks !!! Must have looked just like Nichol

55rwhp from a cam only? I don't think it will be quite that much from just a 224/228 with a nice safe tune for the street.
I have your exact mods with the exception of the LS2 intake and am making a little more horsepower (see sig). Now that cam and a set of 243 LS6 heads will definitely get you there with a good tune.
I can't stress enough how important the tune is to get the maximum horsepower from your ride...especially the A4's.
