Default Im decided on setup what #'s can I expect

ok I have a stock 99 z28 a4. Ive been doing some research and I know what I wanna do this winter. I ran a 13.76 on my 19inch chrome C6 wheels with my speaker box in back so I know i coulda did better but just getting a base time. going with a TSP XS Series Camshaft: 228/228, .588"/.588" and a set of stage 1 ls6 heads from texas speed. The F.A.S.T. LSX 90mm Intake & N.W. 90mm Combo from tsp. Pacesetter lt's with xpipe and true duals. I also plan on getting a good converter probaly a yank but not decided because i dont know about nitrous yet. Anyhow what numbers should I expect. After the tune.

thats pretty much what im looking for. a good daily driver that can put down some good numbers at the track as well. i was aiming for 12 flat i guess i was aiming kinda low so i wouldnt be let down come track night. If 11's are attainable I cant wait til I get everything installed. Whats a good converter for this setup

depending on the converter you get will affect the numbers. most likely over 400 but maybe a little less. I have that cam and I love it pulls great from 3k-till you stop...just wondering why not the stage 2.5 5.3 heads? Great for torque and power and good for a DD ? I also have a Fuddle con. I couldnt be more happy with it. Not as popular as Yank or Vig but GREAT price and drives awesome.

havent really looked into the 5.3's as much as Ive been reading up on the ls6 style heads from texas speed. I know for sure that the ls6 style heads that I plan on getting along with the 228r cam make for a great daily driver. Dont know about the 5.3's but willing to find out if they are gonna make more power. I just want a great daily driver that performs at the track of friday night. Dont wanna have to worry about clearance or anything like that either since I'm not a mechanic or anything but me along with my brother will be dong the install to save me some cash

I am going to go with that same cam and have been wondering about the differance between the power output of the ls6 heads vs the 5.3 heads from tsp. I know this is prob. dumb, but what is the big differance beteen the 2? Have same goals as listed above. Street driver and racing on sundays
