Default C7 A6 trans tuning

Ordering my first bolts on mods soon getting long tubes and e85 flex fuel kit. I know i will need an engine tune but wondering if it will be worth touching the TCM with these mods.
Most shops around me charge a decent amount for trans tunes so trying to find out how well these perform with some tuning to decide if it will be worth it or not. I know in the C6 a trans tune helps quite a bit from what i have read but i've also read how different the A6 is in the C7.
Also i am in the DFW area so if you know any reputable tuners around here i would appreciate it.

Unless you plan on doing a lot more mods to go racing, don't bother with a trans tune. Not every tuner knows how to do it so it doesn't cause eventual problems.

Maybe he could do a mail tune for me to flash when I start the modding next year.
