Looking at your mods, LS6 intake is out the window right away as "the most gain".
But headers vs gears gain depends on three things:
- What gears you have now (2.73 vs 3.23)
- What tires you'll be racing on
- What sort of 1/4 gains are you looking for most (ET reduction or trap speed increase)

Because, his question was this:
And looking at his sig, it's a stock car with only very basic bolt-ons. In that application, an LS6 intake will probably show near zero gains at the track, and certainly MUCH less gains than headers or gears.

A converter will gain you the most performance gain of any other mod, WAY more than any mod you listed. And won't be that much more.
If you don't do a converter, IMO, you are wasting your time.
I personally don't care for Yank too much... My favorite is PTC with VIG being a close second.

LTs: 300 (if you go with the cheapest they have)
ORY: 120
Vette o2: 100 (or o2 extensions which I dont recommend) 50 IIRC
cutout: 30+welding
Pick up a used converter either brand new in the box or used for 1000 miles or something similar: 500
transmission cooler: 60
You will pick up maybe mabe .3 with LTs/ORY
You will pick up a minimum of .5 with a decent converter.. Depending on the size you could knock off almost a full second.
For the money and/or performance gain nothing competes with an A4.

I dont know much about stalls since I have an m6, but I can tell you, you want a stall.
My buddy and I have nearly identical mods.... he has a stock auto trans, i got my M6 with short throw shifter. I run 12.7@108 best, vs his low 13's@10X (cant recall exact time, but its def in the 13's). You be the judge on why I am faster.

Drag radials would be my first mod. Even if it is an extra set of rims with radials on it. If you don't have traction power means nothing.
