what should i do???
what should i do??? so i am undecided on what to get... ill either buy a yank ss 3600 stall OR buy umi: sfc's, t/a, lcas w/ relocation bracket, pan hard bar, and shock tower brace. so should i go with the suspension or the stall????
I wouldn't do the stall before the sfc's because of how much harder it will hit on the chassis when you launch. I'd do the sfc's and lca's first then possibly the stall. I've seen some cars twist without lcas (ask ls1badz about his 67 he had) Just my opinion

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
i would definately do suspension first. no sense having a stall if your just gonna wheelhop your rear end to pieces. also i would ditch the STB and get the torque arm that mounts to the crossmember (and associated crossmember). I also think that by doing this and adding subframe connectors you will knock a tenth or 2 off your 60' times. AND, when you do get a converter, the gains will be multiplied by the suspension components. This is why when alot of people do suspension then converter, they say "I shoulda got the converter first, it helped more", when in reality the suspension makes up half the gains you see with the converter install.
Oh, and SFC's= no dash rattles, and ALOT better driveability.

when mounting to the trans, you deal with the flex associated in the trans-tq arm rubber mount, and also the flex in the trans and motor mounts. when mounting directly, you get the picture. Also if you start making some big power some day, there is a chance of cracking the tailshaft housing, or if you switch to a turbo 400, you need a diff crossmember anyway, and you would need this style arm as well. Ive seen a few 6-speed cars with tailshaft housings twisted off, its anexpensive mistake. Also removing that much movement helps control wheelhop to a higher degree.
One other thing i just remembered, if youve never tried to put in a urethane trans-tq arm mount, do yourself a favor and never consider doing it.

Converter is the obvious choice. I have stock Bilstein suspension which is a far cry from drag racing suspension and I have zero axle hop. My only limiting factor was Nitto DR's, but I was still able to get 1.7X short times. It is the absolute best mod for an A4 car and it changes every aspect of your driving experience. It really wakes that tranny up and makes the car so much more fun to drive. Not to mention the feeling....especially the slow rolls. You won't ever be able to get enough of first gear pulls. 
The suspension will make the biggest difference when launching at the track. A converter makes a big difference everywhere. BTW, you'll love that SS3600.

yeah i was going to go stall first btu the wheel hop on my car is horrible. everytime i launch the car it hops all through first (also i still have my street tires on and havent put the mts on) but im thinking i should have what it takes to be able to put the power to the floor and then do it when i get the other mods.. iono still deciding but KEEP THEM COMING~!!!!!
well after looking through your list, i kinda changed my mind. Since you are switching to MT drag radials (i assume), they will help ALOT with the wheelhop. this is what i would do. get the converter, BUT get the SFC's as well. When money comes around again, do the LCA's and brackets. I wouldnt do the panhard par and STB until i had nothing else to buy though, kinda a waste if you ask me. Trust me, its alot better to put on the SFC's before you can really put the power down, i promise you will notice a HUGE difference with them if you DD this car.

Suspension first is backwards thinking imo.
I'd get the stall first and worry about suspension after.
Wait and see how the car launches with the stock suspension, then decide what suspension upgrades you need.
