You just have to change the trans gear ratios if you're an A4. If you dont know the A4 ratios they're on tech, I just dont know where.

Even if you know the gears, you have to adjust for
torque converter slip (and its dependence on engine
torque) and transmission cycle time. The 2-3 is slow.
You are going to have to "lead" the actual event to
git 'er done in time. MPH and RPM, I expect it's MPH
that has to come in. Cut and try.

Link that could help... Heres another link that can help you out alot. I helped me a bunch, since I have 4.10s. Here:http://www.f-body.org/gears/
Those gear calculators work great for manuals, but for autos you need to factor in the converter slip as Jimmy said. Here is an image showing why you should not use those calculators without factoring in %slip.
Gears will also affect the RPM/MPH shift point due to a faster rev speed and a need to "build up" pressure, you will need to take some rpms/mphs in account to shift right where you want.

cause I had to lower my mph/rpm shift points to get it right. Those calculators are a good starting point IMO but not perfect. Every car is different with gears, stalls, weight. I just used those as a base and went from there. Trial and Error when you have to do it on the street 
. Takes awhile. Thanks. I hope this helps you Juice Junkie.
