Ok to start I have the mods in my signature. I am getting ready to do ported ls6 heads, patriot double gold valve springs, katech timing gain, and a xer273hr-14 comp cam, tuned with HP tunes. I am shooting for 400rwhp and I think I should surpass that even with an A4. What's your thoughts? Think this will get me to my goal? Also think its enough to do a 12.0 flat 1/4 mile? Oh yeah it has 3.73's

I have the exact same set up (ported 243, xer273-114) as you down to the a4 and 3.73 gear...don't worry if you have stock converter...my car runs 12.4 all day long on the stock converter so if you get like a 3200-3600 stall you will be at 12.0 easily...that's gonna be my next mod...
You might be able to get a better tune up bc I just sent my PCM out to pcmforless which I know leaves a little power on the table but it was all the cash I had at the time...let me know what your power gains are bc I have never dynoed my car just know that I was running 13.3 before the h/c install so figure about 9 tenths better in the 1320

Well the at apparently ran a 12.7@109 in Atlanta on street tires the way it sits now. I cannot prove that though. So if it was the truth then that's why I was hoping for a 12 flat with the mods. Then drop a bit more with converter. Then when I get bored through on some juice till she blows then do a 6.0 swap. My mods installer said the same combo on a true ls6 motor resulted in 440rwhp with a 6 speed in a c5 z06

Ls6 motor ain't nothin special it just has bay to bay breathing oil wise which is only worth a couple hp...main difference is the lightweight valves and the manual Trans which has a lot less parasitic power loss than our big ole slushbox auto transmissions...I estimate my car at like 450-460 crank hp which is a conservative estimate considering with no accessories ls1s make 400 hp stock

Converter isn't needed first, will it help? Of course. But that will come late summer. I would have gotten that first but I can't walk from the deal on my cam and heads.

Flowmaster is definitely going bye-byes. Trying to do a b&b or do a custom setup using an aero turbine muffler. I never realized that a cut out was worth that much on these cars.
