Awesome car!! awesome build! awesome setup! awesome fabwork!
On your track post you said something about a stall and wanting to run 11's without getting into the motor. Back in 99 my 98 A4 z28 was running 13.1-13.2's consistent at 105-106mph. The car had a air lid,muffler,3.23's and power programmer. These runs were on street tires. On a 125hp dry shot spraying the maf it ran 12.53@117 spinning quite a long ways.
I did a 3300 Precision Industries stall and some 26x11.5 et streets. Car went 12.80-12.81 consistent at 103-104 on motor and 11.6@116 on nitrous. The car pulled the drivers tire about 3" off the ground and went a 1.58 60ft. These days the drag radials they have will do the same or a better job. Back then there wasnt alot out for the car. I later learned that messing with shift point through the ecu helped people run quicker times.
I will tell you this.. with that stall on street tires is was a tire baller.. If you go to a convertor may not be a bad idea to run a big trans cooler and get someone to tune the transmission shift firmness. 4l60's aint the stongest transmissions out there and convertors do cause them to run hotter.
