Default Full bolt on 2000 T/A A4 any guesses?

Ok guys picked this up in November, sold as a WS6. It's not but has lots of goodies on a 54k mi clean car. I've got/added LT's, ORY, catback, no cats air or egr, BBK manifold, PP TB, smooth bellows, MSD wires, 1.8 roller rockers, TransGo HD-2 shift kit, Frost tune. Suspension includes UMI sfc, lca's, lca relo brackets, panhard bar and stress bar, larger sway bars. About 50 lbs. removed.
The bad news is stock 16" wheels and a 2.73 posi. I've done a **** load of work on this puppy this spring, basically if it's replaceable it's been replaced. Any one care to guess a quarter time and hp #'s?

I hope you put in upgraded springs with the 1.8's if not do so asap you're asking for trouble. I would think as it sits with a good dyno tune 350whp is possible auto a4's are around 340ish but the rockers will help you a bit. As for a 1/4 time i see mid 12's with a good tire and driver.

The next mod you need to do is a stall converter and gears a 3600 would suit you very well and with that alone you could be knocking down high 11's. The gears arent necessary but will make it drive nicer however the gains will be there with or without the gears

Thanks, 3.42's are next. Unlike most this thing has no traction problems and if anything is lazy off the line. H/C and stall sometime next year. Gonna stay on the mild side with a stall as it's a DD. Not sure on the valve springs or anything below it (cam), sounds like a stock cam. I have no past history on the car and the PO added the rockers. The car runs great with good compression and no oil use.

340 rwhp or so would be my guess, but it really depends on the dyno as well

A 3600 stall will be fine for a DD you really don't wanna go any smaller on an LS motor with a cam. Honestly tho do a stall before the cam it'll drop .5 off your time as it sits now

Will a 3600 stall eat my mileage? This is my dd and I put about 6k mi on it a year for work.
