Default tune vs gear upgrade vs both???

I currently have 2.73s in a 99A4 and are currently looking for a used 3.42 diff. After doing alot of searching and reading here on the forum, I have come up with a few questions or senarios.

1. Custom tune only (keeping 2.73s)
2. Upgrade diff to 3.42 and no tune
3. Upgrade diff to 3.42 and get cutom tune

I know that the price goes up as you move down the list but I am curious as to performance comparisons between them. I dont race or anything but would love some seat of the pants stuff that everyone here seems to REALLY ENJOY!

Thanks for everyones knowledge here and any help that you can provide. zw

I don't think that #2 is a viable option. Your shift points and rev limiter will be wrong.
