What cam do you have or what's the duration? What kind of dyno did you have it dyno'd on (Mustang, Dynojet, etc.)

Get the A6 tuned by someone that knows the autos and I think you will be surprised at how much faster the car is. Then decide how much more power you want.

I've been looking into upgrading for a while and have decided to go with a Magnacharger
Heartbeat. I ordered the blower two weeks ago and am waiting for it to arrive.
NH Dyno in Windham N.H. will do the install and tune. They will do three pulls in stock form and three pulls after the installation of the blower. I'll let you know what I end up with.

Hence look into having them install a Meth kit at the same time to solve the heat problem when you are on booths for mins (not seconds) at a time.

Been running a blower on mine for about 4 years now and and over 20K miles. Started at 600 wheel, then after a year jumped it up to about 700 wheel. Like Detoxx03, I'm not just loafing either. Done two 1/2 mile events and a 1 Mile event and a lot at of hard back roads runs. LS3s love boost, and are very reliable with proper octane (meth) and a good tune.

I agree! That an headers your done. Best part you got the drivability. It will drive like stock in traffic, until you have the need for speed!! Of course
When you sell the car you’ll get probably close to $0 but what a blast!! There’s a reason why car makers prefer SC

A nice mod that few seem to mention is a torque converter swap on that A6, next to a supercharger, there is nothing that will make your car faster

I assume you meant quicker, not faster.I think the OP needs at least a 3200 stall, if not a 3600 and here's why.
Friend with SC ran 10.92 @ 133 with a 1.82 60' time, 593 hp stock stall
My LS3 bolton ran 10.93 @ 125 with a 1.48 60' time, 394 hp 4000 stall
Sport bike riders enjoy the launch more than the end speed.
