Default Estimate this 1/4 mile E.T., please.

3400lbs, A4 4L60E, Nitto's, 3.23 gears, 430RWHP/450+/-RWTQ, standard temp. & press @ sea level, 3000 stall, full suspension.

This is what I've been told my 382 all-bore will produce, it will be a mild one with a very smooth idle, I hope you guys tell me I'm in the low to mid 11's.

What other info do you need to guess an E.T.?

I think I might do the 3.73's. Is there a way or is there a calculator to see how much this will raise my RPM's at a given speed compared to my 3.23's?
Also, how my gas mileage will change?

I do alot of highway driving.

rpm divided by 3.23 = _ x 3.73 = new rpm.
