If it's an auto it can be anywhere from 260-280 or so. An M6 will usually put down 270-290.

My car put down 294/324 with LTs and ram-air.

haha......a big open-ended question!
If M6, a respectable goal would be 280 tuned.
If A4, hope for 270.


Edit: Damn! 93M6, it looks like it's unanimous....lol!

I would say 275 to 290. You never know and it depends on how far the tune pushes it. At 150K miles you never know what the tuner will do or how the car will react. Best of luck though!
