You can use async.forEachOf - it calls its iterator callback with the index as its second argument.

> async.forEachOf(['a', 'b', 'c'], function () {console.log(arguments)});
{ '0': 'a', '1': 0, '2': [Function] }
{ '0': 'b', '1': 1, '2': [Function] }
{ '0': 'c', '1': 2, '2': [Function] }

see the docs for more info.
