I would think more like 116-117. Myself with just a hotcam on stock heads/intake/tb with stock gearing have been trapping around 108... Last time at the track I had a run that was 108.8.

I have 3.73s and I put out 390rwhp and 340lb ft of torque.
I went 12.11@116mph with a 1.868 60 foot.
This guy is saying I should be running 109-110mph and that I'm lying about my mph.
My 1/8th mile was 91mph.

... I based my figuires on an equation; guessing on elaps time and coverting FPS into MPH.... I though it was alittle low.. There are too many factors to consider times and MPH...It just give me a basic start...

He drives an '03 Cobra and he's getting his panties in a bunch because I beat him once already and he's sore about it.

In that case, A4 cars would trap the same as M6 cars if they had the same amount of power. The difference is from what RealQuick mentioned above and the fact that on the dyno, the stock stall will lock at around 85 (for 93) and 95 MPH for 94-97 cars, which will create bigger numbers. This being in 3rd gear, you will run most of your run at the track with slightly lower power than what the dyno showed.
