IMHO

Gears........... :yesnod:

The "ratio" you need........3:73 (perfect match for LT1 and Auto trans.)
Cheap
Will last forever (and little maint.)
Easily done
Will be like you added 150 HP
Will give a GS and ZR1 a good run for the money
Top speed 150+
No need to go into engine (expensive)

Next...........K & N filter and Exhaust

Gears for an LT1, either 3.54 or 3.73 but no more than that on an A4. Then you might want a high stall TC 2400-2600 from Vigilante. I'm of the opinion that you start at the front of the engine and go backwards to the intake, then at the back and go to the engine. Then go for engine work (hotcam, heads).
