Default GTP Heads?

How many of you are using GTP heads and what kind of HP/TQ gains did you see with their stage 2 heads?

I usually dyno 400 with GTP stage 2 heads and a 224 cam with all the bolt-ons through an A4. Nowadays you can usually get 400 with a nice big healthy cam.

GTP heads are one of the best in the country no doubt. They are up there with MTI, Cartek, and the other big names.

I haven't tried dyno'ing with nice mufflers, but through the stock mufflers and a 227/224 cam my GTP's made 414rwhp through the 6 speed.

With borla mufflers and a beefy cam people seem to use these days (ie, g5x2) I'm sure 430-440rwhp would be waiting for me.
