93 A4 H/C 3.73 3200 stall

Same boat here LOL (oddly enough, similar mods list)
I can usually pull around 200-210 or so in mixed driving.
Might be able to get a little more if I could keep my foot out of it ...

She'll do 230-250 on pure highway driving if I don't run into anyone to race.

Give it a basic tune up and see if it helps any.

Does it run ok? no rough idle or weird noises?
If it was recently purchased the previous owner may have done something stupid.

I'm a big advocate of checking (and replacing as needed) fluids, filters and
seals anytime (perferably before) you buy a new car.
You wouldn't beleive the information you can gather about a car's history
from the color, smell and texture of fluids.
