Might want to specify A4 or M6. I'd guess about 350 rwhp for an M6. Should ET in the mid-low 12's at around 112mph.

that's not always true though. i'm pushing more power than that with less mods and have yet to break into the 12's and trap above 110.

Only way to know is to run it and find out. What you should be able to run and what you can actually run are often two TOTALLY different things. Bolt on only M6's with no mods besides the power adding bolt ons with stock rear end/clutch and full weight aren't usually all that quick. Maybe high 12's. Depends on the weather and how well you can drive.

don't forget, it's not how much rwhp/rwtq you make, it's whether you use it to the fullest extent on the track.

Where you race can make a ton of difference. If you're racing at Bandimere in Denver, you're gonna go slow. If you're in Houston you might go close to a second quicker. As stated above, weather can make a big difference also.

Couldn't agree with you more. I am only making 351rwhp/365rwtq but I am running consistent 12.0x@ 112-115mph.

Pretty much what you see in the sig.
CC306, long tubes, dynomax bullet race muffler dumped before the rear-end, 4.10s, Vig 2800stall TC, beefed up 4L60E, and all the other little bolt-ons. Also have nitto DRs, SFCs, LCAs w/ reloc brackets, adj. panhard bar, and 1.5" lowering springs all from BMR. Mine is also an LT1 though.
