I would start with your basic bolt on's(Lid,headers,Exhasut,ETC....) and then get gears that's a big one ohh yeah don't forget about stcikey (NITTO"S 555).Anyways after you get all that on you will need a rear end rebuild or a new one! Go with a 12 bolt if you are A4 but if you are M6 go with the 9in if it don't bug you toooo much. but that should give you some good times........

My 01 WS6 with just a K&N filter went 13.3. With some type of drag wheel it might have went 13.1. So what you saw might have been possible if it were a newer WS6.

Mine went 12.9 with a lid, catback, ram air kit and tune. Now I'm running 11.8 with a ported TB, electric water pump, skinnies and a stall. Headers will likely make your ETs worse without a stall.

A good stall and some tires will help you most of all in the 1/4. If you are concerned with track times I recommend saving any money you were going to spend on lid, exhaust, TB, etc... and just buying a good stall.

I ran 13.49@107.8 with a cat-back and lid only. Got headers and ORY now, and will have 315's by spring. Hoping to hit high 12's.
So basically id say somewhere in the mid-high 12's with the mods u listed.

Bone stock I ran a 13.21, with just a lid 13.01 and with a lid and catabck 12.97. It takes some good air and you have to be able to hook, but you can get in the 12s with minimal mods.

I'd say with the mods you have listed you will be very low 13's on street tires. Maybe even high 12's depending on if you have 3.23's instead of 2.73's.
