sounds like you want a stock convertor with a shift kit installed or increased line pressure via LS1 edit. any aftermarket stock convertor will take its toll on a stock 4L60e - i have a yank st-4000 but it is far from a daily driver. if she doesnt want a race car give her a stock car. putting in a convertor under 3200 rpms is a waste in my opinion from a performance standpoint. also remember that vig convertors stall way higher than advertised. about 400-500 rpms higher. so a 3200 stalls at a real work 3600-3700 rpms at wot.

Well when I got to the track she's gonna run too. So if I put a shift kit in it will shift harder but still have a low stall so it will seem to be a stockish feel? Sorry, I'm new to A4's. I was born on having 3 pedals. -Mark

Maybe you should just put a gear, tires and a shift kit in it. Should run pretty damn good then.

Correct. Instead of :1st gear:<blah>:2nd gear: it will be more like :1st gear: <OH SHIT!> :2nd gear:

I think Gator said it best.
