If you can't run well into the 12s with that setup, you need to sell the car. 
Seriously though, you should be hitting mid-12s even without the stall. Add the stall and on those slicks and skinnies you'll be flying.

We should find out where he is and the DA before we tell him how fast he'll be 
Around here those parts will get him to a 13.5, and in some places that's what it takes to get 13s at all

Well just for reference I ran a 13.67 bone stock 99T/A A4 on crap cooper tires bouncing off the limiter on 2-3 shift due in 90 degree FL humidity…..

But yeah, probably should have asked just to be sure.
And BTW, if you're racing somewhere that requires those mods just to run a 13, I'd say it's time to move.

Well since he didn't make any mention of extenuating circumstances, I gave an estimate assuming he's running at a fairly "normal" drag strip. Typically if someone is racing at Mile High, they will say something along the lines of, "And BTW, I'm running it at 5,000+ feet".

Really!! My car stock ran a 13.4. Now I dont know what it runs. I havent gone to the track for like the past yr. But mid 13's OMG! You must be reffering to an LT1 car?
went to the track this weekend and all i had on my car was the lid, shiftkit, ls6 intake, and drag radials and all they were running was 1/8th i got a 8.7 with a 2.0 60 , my full exhaust and gears are gonna be on the car next weeked and then get my dyno tune what yall think imma do in the 1/4 with 3.73 gears and the the rest of the mods i listed above
