Even with an A4 it seems like something isn't right. I don't want to bust your ***** or anything and if your happy that's what matters, but there are full bolt on only A4's going 105-107 mph full weight. I could see a little less for the flowmaster but a stall won't really affect mph more than like 1 mph. Still a stall would probably give you a 12.7-12.8 in the same conditions which is very respectable. Those miles most likely won't effect the track times much either but if I had a cammed car still running 13's I would be a little frustrated. Good luck though and keep working at it.

I think getting it on a dyno and getting things tuned real good would definately add to the performance. Heck, something may be off in the tune and you could pick up 2 mph your next time out. You never know. With a better sixty foot you could get a slightly higher trap as well. With a 1.8 sixty you would have a twelve second car I just thought something sounded a little off, even with a tiny cam. But with a few adjustments I think your car has alot more potential for sure. I have definately seen worse and if you did a stall, gears, and a cutout with a good tune you have low 12's in that car.

1st motor was hotcam kit, edlebrock shorty headers, stock stall, 3.23 and it ran 13.4@106 with 2.0 60ft. but I am a lot closer to sea level than you. with your alt I'd be happy with those numbers.
With the stock stall and only mods being full exhaust, 3.73's and a cc503 I was running 12.8's at 110mph with 2.0 60's. Before cam and gears I was doing 13.4's at 103 but I am not sure how much your DA that day effects things. Once you get a Stall you will be a very happy man.
with that DA i would say you are on par! i share the same type DA as you do here in vegas..last week i ran on DRs for the first time in a few years and BOGGED BAAAAAD 
my slip looked like this:
3000 rpm launch/bogg
60'-------------2.0
1/4mile---------13.35
mph------------105.20
3004' DA that night.
mod list:
bad *** autozone clutch 3yrs old
bmr sfc
lakewood lca
Ls1 alum DS
4.10 gears
315/40/17 (14psi)
Ps longtubes

1.6 RR
stock descreened maf
Ls1 28lb inj(= to 24s @46psi

i say good run!!! the LCA's and other suspension parts should help you get out of the hole quicker and cut down your times.
before my car was wrecked i ran 13.8 at 101 MPH and 2.0 60 ft at about 500 above sea level. i had mid lengths, full exhuast with no mufflers, LCA's, Panhard bar, intake, and a tune up! i had tranny issues that day too. i was on stock stall also, so i say you are running pretty damn good!

i also think my transmission just needs a refresh, when it ***** it goes up to about 6250 and sits for a split second then it hits and changes gears. i wonder if thats the tranny or something to do with the tune.
and my tuner also reccomended going and doing a couple pulls on the dyno just to check my car out and i do plan on doing that.
thanks everyone and i cant wait to get everything all dialed in, like i said this was only my second time ever racing at the track.

that always happens on the 2>3 shift. i just posted about that in the transmission section. check out the post below it explains why that happens and another member tells a tip on how you can trick the pcm into shifting faster
