Put a big stall converter in that A4 and see if that doesnt change your mind
If you must go M6, heres a page that might be helpful.

A4s have the advantage over M6s in the drag area. However, if you absolutely must do an M6... my friend with a thirdgen just swapped out a TH350 for a T-56 out of an LT1, I'll ask him for some details when i go check it out tonight.
I'm going to recommend against a big stall in an OBDI (94-95 LT1) car. Anything higher than 3200 and you WILL have trouble with the PCM. Been there, done that - and have a Yank ST3500 sitting on the shelf to prove it. 
My personal preference would be something like a Vig 2800 at this point. LS1's and OBDII LT1's have a different reaction to big stalls. But the 94-95 computers just don't like 'em.
I sold a 6-speed setup to a guy (out of my old parts car) who did a A4 to M6 swap. I sent him the pedals, tranny & bellhousing, clutch assembly, center console plate, and the 4 electrical connectors for the tranny (reverse lights, reverse lockout, vehicle speed sensor, and CAGS solenoid). The only thing he had to buy was a pilot bearing (under $15 from GM). Anyhow, it's not terribly tough, depending on how "factory" you want it to look... you'll have to run some wires to get everything set up right, but it can be done for under $2k if you look hard enough.
As for A4 vs M6 at the dragstrip... build your M6 drivetrain right, and the A4 advantage isn't as much as you'd think. Nothing like sticking a 6400 RPM clutch dump, pulling the fronts, and then banging the gears like a madman.
