Don't get hung up on dyno readings with an A4. However you can gain 50-75+RWHP with headers and a cam. Depending on the cam & headers you select. If you already haven't done it yet. You should be looking at a good high stall converter and better gearing especially if you have 2.73 gears. A good T/C and gears will give you the best bang for the buck with an A4(excluding NOS). IMO a high stall T/C is a must on any A4 with a decent cam.
With a good T/C like the Yank SS3600 and at least 3.42 gears, a decent cam, LT headers and your other mods you can run high 11s with traction.
