You should specify if you have an M6 or an A4. And, if an A4, what your rear end ratio is....2.73 or 3.15.

I think you actually lose some Hp on the dyno by going with shorter gears, but It's well worth the Improved E.T's Also a good tune can give you around 12-15 RWHP~That's why I love Corvettes...So many options for Insane performance gains~ B.O.Luck~~Chris
