I also have an 02 SS and the biggest improvement was the converter. When it was stock, (with hedders), I installed a set of 3.73's and a Vig 3200. Instant 12.70's from 13.56. I have a conv. which is very heavy, but you should be deep in the 12's. Good luck.
A converter is the single best mod for an A4 car IMO. I was very bored with mine and seriously considering a 6-speed swap until I installed my first converter (Yank ST3500). Man did it make a world of difference....so much so that I upgraded to a SS4000 and loved it even more. When my tranny fried and I ordered my FLT level 4, I took that opportunity to upgrade one last time to a PT4400 and I'll never look back.
Average gains are ~.5 in the 1/4 mile. You're 60' will also go down quite a bit with a good converter and those tires. I'm running stock Bilstein level II and with full weight and 3/4's tank of gas, I cut my 1.63 with MT ET Street radials. A converter will get rid of the A4's notorious dead spots as well as give you better shift extension to stay in your power band after a shift. Just make sure you get a good cooler and a tranny temp gauge (better safe than sorry).
I've only ever run Yanks, so that's all I can tell you about (they're having an October sale right now that would be hard to pass up). With your gears, I'd seriously consider the SS4000. It's a great street/strip converter and will allow you to grow easily (cam, heads, nitrous). I drove mine with 3.23's and it was still plenty tight for that stall speed. Hell, my current PT4400 is being run with 3.23's until I upgrade my rear and it's not bad at all. Makes for one hell of a highway pull
.
Bottom line, get a good converter (Vigilante and Circle D are also high quality converters that have an excellent reputation on this site) and a good cooler. You'll absolutely love the gains you'll get on the street and at the track. You'd be a solid mid 12-second car IMO. Good luck!

Second converter options is my billet series 9.5", would suggest the 2C or 3C for your setup. The 2C is a 3200-3400 and the 3C is 35-3700. They sell for $750, free shipping of course. They will still have good street manors, but not as good as the 11" will. They will knock off .5 or more.
