Changing gear ratio, what needs to be done? going from whatever is stock on an `01 z28 A4, to a 3.42 rear from an M6 SS.
Car has a lid and catback, but otherwise stock.
Would a hypertech work? Or is something like an SCT required?
Looking for cheapest solution

Go to a GM dealer and ask them to adjust (correct it by changing the PPK value) with Tech 2.

I switched to 4.30 gears in my 97 cobra and all I needed was a $100 speedcal that plugged inline with the VSS to recalibrate everything and it ran perfect.

If you're on good terms with your local GM Service Manager and ask nicely, I don't see why not.
(Or use your diplomatic charm and tact if not).
All you need to do is ask for it to be changed to another stock setting; the same as the M6 PPK value.
This assumes you are on the same overall diameter tyres as a stock car. As this will also affect the speedo and shift points.
