If your new engine is stock it should run fine on your factory tune. A dyno tune will give you a couple more horsepower but generally isn't worth the $400 plus cost until you add a few mods.

We need a lot more info on exactly what you are wanting to do with the car. Street use, track use, is mileage important, A4 or M6, how important is everyday driveablity, what other mods are planned, gearing, stock rearend or not, budget, ect.

A midrange torque converter, 3200 to 3800 stall, will give you the most performance for the money. You will knock a full half second off your quarter mile times for around $500. A lid is good for about 10 hp for about $100. A used LS6 intake will run about $300 and is good for about 15 hp. These are the absolute basics.
