Default How much will a tune help me?

I purchased the car a few weeks ago and finally had it out to our 1000ft track...it was warm conditions but still my best run was 11.3 @ 94.9 with the mods listed below. My previous 99 WS6 A4 with only ory pipe managed to run 10.6 @ 98. You have to be a little patent shifting which i'm sure hurts a lot but I was still a little disappointed with my mph

The previous owner did mention the car was tuned for the Fast 90/90 intake but was replaced with the LS6 intake. I'm wondering if there was another cam before also...he said the cam was from an LS6 but not the one in the c5. Maybe the LS6 in the CTS-V?


Mod List:

Ls6 intake, Milled 5.3 heads, Tosto Racing lid, QTP 1 7/8 LTs, SLP loudmouth1, Monster stage4 clutch, Spohn LCAs, BMR crossmember mount adjustable torque arm, UMI panhard rod, Moser 9in, Motive 3.89 gears, 35spine axles, Spool, 315/35 Nitto555r's on back

Has it been tuned for the setup? Did the car come from a different climate (elevation, humid area) etc?
