I hate the cold weather most of the time though, but at least it's good for something, making horsepower.

I'm curious, are you planning on getting it tuned? You've probably got a tenth or two right there (especially from the elimination of TM)
Our DA runs 3-6k most of the time track is at 2,200

I have orderd HP tuners but finding someone with A6 exp is difficult.

I plan on tuning but dont plan on gaining, I will be pulling timing for N20.

I am putting Nitros Daves Plate kit on this week

What kind of shot are you hitting it with??

I've been contemplating a baby 100 dry just to get me in the 11s.

I am thinking 125 may be just right...

My friends A4 went 13.4 stock and with only 150 shot, plugs and tire went 11.4.

I want to pick up 1.42 seconds 12.41 - 1.42 = 10.999

1.9 60 vs 1.7 should net .3-.4 (friends went 1.64)

Hopefully the lower gearing of the A6 will help, but the 2.73's may hook better???

120 rwhp and 150 rwtq 1.2

Well, I think 1.5 might be a little hard to drop. BUT, with tire, I guess it's possible. I think you'd def need a 150 wet shot though to get there.

I'm thinking a 100 shot on mine might net me an 11 something. I don't want to get my hopes up and then be dissappointed, but I want an 11.5 on street tire.

If I had not seem Jasons car drop 2.1 seconds on the 150 shot I would never have believed it (but he went 1.6x 60)

Someone ran 11.5 on the stock tire with a 150 shot right?
