Launching!
For your A4 with a 2200 stall and the other mods you are looking at, I'd say 12.8-12.9. A higher stall would put you mid twelves. If the rear is stock you probably have 3.23's or 2.73's
Oh yes, let there be traction.

Altitude can also come into play. Also the track. Weather, humidity, etc etc. At the nicer track of colorado (bandimere, 5400ft) most TAs are only running mid to low 14s. The really shitty track in colorado (PMI, 5000ft) most TAs are running mid to high 14s. It truly makes me sad...but I suppose its not too bad, because the other cars are slower too. But I hate having a 14 sec car!

And you may want to consider a tune after the TC install.
13.5 is a good time in a 98' Trans Am. Also, going from a 3.42 to 3.73 will definitely need drag radials.
Good luck though.

your mph sucks... the time isnt too bad, though some cars do better. What was your 60'?
I dont think you will be satisfied with a 2200 stall... get something around 3000ish, and you will definitely see a more significant difference. with the LT's and gears, and traction I would say mid 12's...
