I've had my '95 six speed for over ten years now and it's remained stock most of those years.
Even today, I only have what SLP gave me to borrow my car for testing. That consisted of the "claw", 1.6 rockers and an exhaust(which I don't have anymore).
The car performs very well as is. Ran a best of 12.99@106 mph and may runs to 108 mph in the 1/4 mile.
On the street, I can still keep up with the C5's and C6's.

If you have an automatic, a gear swap would make the most sense.
Gears really wake up an A4 LT1....if you're still not satisfied with the car after a gear swap
and you have some money contact Ron/Phil at AI and let them know what your goals are and your budget. If you are honest with what you want they can provide the package that will exceed your expectations.

Unlike Mojo I wasn't happy keeping up with C5s and C6s, many "fast cars" have seen four square tailights disapearing in the distance........
