1st: M6= Standard (6-Speed Manual
A4= Automatic (4 Speed Automatic

Obviously its a A4 automatic because u mentioned 4000 stall.

I guesstimate that this car with the following mods:
A good set of heads with a good cam
4000 Stall
Shorty Headers
LS6 Intake
MAF
Slicks
Catback?
Cutout?

Will probably get u around an 11.4-11.7 @ 115+
IF the car hooks and u burn em well. The heads and cam also have to be good

With the mods he listed I ran 10.6 though i had a 4200 Yank converter and long tubes... the MACs can work just about as well...

Though i weighed 3200 with me in the car...how much does your car and you weigh....add .10 for every 100 pounds. (rule of thumb)

Plan on running mid to low 11's if everything is not PERFECT.

LOL, UR from Houston, MTI!!! Their a bit to pricey but ull love their stuff. If money isnt a prob get their LS6 Ported Heads and maybe their C2 Hammer cam and ull make awesome power!! Though Im going with a more aggressive Cam the X1= 230/224 .591 lift. My car is going to be street driven. -------------------> Look at their website if u dont wanna spend that much step down to the LS1 S1 or S2 Heads.

Other Great heads:
GTP===============>
Absolute===========>
JPR has some good heads from what I hear
Thunder

and many more u need to look around
