The total capacity is WELL above 5 quarts. But that won't concern you unless you're going to be using a flush machine that sucks all the fliud out. If your plans are just to drop the pan and change the fliter + re-fill trans, 4-5 quarts should do it. Maybe more if you've got a really deep trans pan.

Personally, I don't know of any "high performance" trans filters. I just use a new Delco filter.

thats what i thought well a shift kit is going to be installed other than that thats it besides a filter so how much do you think i'd be safe on buying?

You will be fine with 5 quarts.

i think a dry trans takes around 11

A dry 4L60E with a stock c0onverter takes 12.5 quarts . but in your case the total will vary according to how long the pan is down

Just depends on how long it takes to do the shift kit , generally the converter will slowly drain the entire time
