I'm pretty happy with 411-419(depending on where I dyno) through cats and gears. I just wish the damn car wasn't so heavy.
Do yourself a huge favor and do some research on here. Many of the sponsors (including us) offer much better packages producing more power.
Give me a call if I can help you.

. What I am getting to here is who did your tuning? I am very surprised you aren't in the low 12's or high 11's! My C5 ran a 12.89@ 110 and the original sparkplugs still in it (30,000 miles), through the stock exhaust manifolds. Only mod to motor was an LS6 intake and a Blackwing air filter. And this was with a stock A4 and runcraps. It did have an LS1 Edit tune by Howell Engine developments. This really brought my car to life, which is why I am asking about the tune. I am aslo curious what the ambient temperature in Florida was when you made these runs, as I did have a nice cool 55 degrees to run in, which for power would be a big advantage over, say, 90-95 degrees or more 
. Good luck with your car. And JRP and others here have excellent info and tech help

Thanks Grinder11 for the post.
I don't think slowhawk was referring to me about it costing $6500 bucks. However, the last pass I made at the track is in the sig. The conditions in the run were pretty typical for florida. 69*-73* temps with humidity in the 85-90% range. The raceweight on my goat is 3910. I'm a solid 200, with the vehicle weighing in at 3710 after removing the spare tire and assoc. equipment.
There was alot of KR on that run as well as the car was running very lean in the 13.6-13.9 range throughout the rpm range. the car was also running JBA shorty headers as well on this run.
I've since gotten the car tuned properly, installed longtubes, and put in 3.91 gears. After putting the gears in the drivetrain didn't like it at all twisting a half shaft and twisting the driveshaft as well causing it to bind. I've got all the new drivetrain equipment in from BMR except for the halfshafts. The car has sat for 2-3 weeks now but they should be in sometime next week. I'm excited to try and make it back out to the track and see how she does. I'll keep you guys in formed.

!! You get to run all winter and tune, too!! I have the 'vette parked for winter, though I am contemplating taking it out when we get a good rain to rinse the salt off the roads. Then I can put on my snowmobile suit, drop the top, and freak out a few little old ladies!!! Oh well, we gotta do something for excitement around here. It's a long time 'til spring!! 
LOL, I hear ya. The raceweight on BMR's A4 with nitrous bottles/rollcage/SFC's,etc is 4120. They are running 10.20's @130mph on a 300shot and an ironblock 408. It is a pleasure to drive on the street. It's pretty quiet in the cabin and very comfortable.
I feel the car will trap 115-117mph now. I'm excited to make some winter passes. As soon as I get some new results I'll post em. The times are definately not indicative of how the car is currently running.
