Get 3.73's with a 3500 stall 
Hardened output shafts
$1,300-1,700
Although 3.42 are much more available and cheaper because MN6 guys
yank them and go with 3.90's or 4.10's
Peace

Get a used 3:42 rear end, and a astro van stall.
It brings stall up to 2200-2400 rpm If you go with a bigger stall then you have to run a costly trans cooler. Do a search on Mike Mercury and check out his posts and how to pics on this subject

what do you think of this 2002 A4 w/3.42 gears?
that was before my converter upgrade
here's two mods that will really wakeup a C5 A4... but during everyday driving keeps the car feeling like it's still factory stock:
