depending on the d/a but I would say 12.9ish
the 273`s are going to hold you back for sure.

you really think I could run that slow? I know the 2.73's are probably gonna rob .1-.2 off my time, but I'm hoping that everything else I have done will more than compensate. even with 2.73's, the 3400 stall launches HARD, and i really struggle to keep traction on street tires if I go WOT under 30mph.

I would swap out for some 3.73's but I want to salvage what's left of my fuel economy. Also I know someone with a 3200-stalled A4 who switched from 3.23's to 3.73's and they're 1/4 time didn't change.

I wonder what he ran?
There are many factors that make a huge differance also such as driver exp,density altutude,race weight etc
That being said it could be anywhere from 13.3-12.5 I just made a guess in the middle
If you ever ran in 5000+ D/A you would know what I am talking about
