One of the best things you can do with the A4 is install a 3.42 diff from a C5 Z06. If not that, a 3.73. Any lower than that, with the 4L60E 1st gear being so low, it'll be hard to hook up unless you go to really sticky, short tread life DR'S. Also, the lower geared diff (higher numerically) you go with, the increased likelihood of spitting the diff all over the track. My .02......
