N20 thoughts
I have a A4 Z51 05. I want to be in the mid 11s all I have on the car is a vararam and borla tips. I was thinking a 100 shot and a tune might get me there. Im just worried about the motor blowing and if i ever decide to sell can i take the kit off and no one will know? I plan on doing 100 shot and a tune then gears and converter. I would do LT headers but dont want to deal with inspection law. Im after low 11s.
Im just looking for the best way to go about this.

I was reading that a dry kit is really the best way to go, the N/A tune will run to its full capability. Then when i decide to spray it will pull the timing. Can I run nitrous safely with just a Vararam? Im just after 460 RWHP if i decide i can always add headers and a cam later. Any input would be nice.

BK,
Welcome to the forum! Great questions!
This is a good starting point!

Provided you have traction (a good DR will get you the traction you need!) AND you can 60' properly, then yes, you'll see mid 11's all day.
The motor will be fine at this power level.
No one would know unless you told them. However, you need to disclose this sort of information!
Gears and a converter will make a BIG difference. Big! Probably .5-.7 off your ET in the 1/4!!! (again, provided you can get traction 
)
All covered above (but headers make a huge difference - especially after you add the nitrous to the mix!).

Well really im just wondering if i can do nitrous with the mods i have now?
The Vararam will make it an easier install, actually.
Yes, it's a very easy install. Especially with a dry shot.

Call Brian @ Hinson Super Cars (he's a supporting vendor here - 205 267 6387). Tell him you want the same kit as on Ed Traylors car. It's an NX setup with ALL the safety nets so you won't blow up!
(since you don't really know what you are doing with N20, you need all of the safety nets so you don't blow your engine up by spraying too early or at redline...)
