Default Tune for gear change

Im pretty sure an a4 needs to be tuned for a gear change, from what I read. Im going from 2.73s to 3.42s. Will the car run like garbage at WOT?

Also anyone local with hp tuners or other software willing to tune me just for gear change? Hoping maybe someone local has 2000s unlocked.

thanks!

There is a lot more involved then just changing the gears in the tune. I would have don tune it and call it a day. You can burn rp the tranny if you run it like that or not having it tuned properly.
