To get an accurate estimate I would list:

Weight, shift point, max rpm, and tire hight.

Just a guess with a 6,500 shift point and 26" tire at 3,500 pounds and 489rwhp (including a 100 hp rwhp shot) I would run between a 3.90 and 4.10 gear. From my guess looks like a low 11 sec car around 121-123 mph.

I would go 3.42's. 4.10's in an A4 with a 100 shot will run out of gear in the 1/4. 3.73's will be close, but good for a H/C or bolt on car.
