Default Pick my next mod

I have a 00 SS with Pacesetter LT headers, Pacesetter ORY, SLP loudmouth exhaust, SLP lid, SLP smooth bellow, K&N air filter, MSD wires, NGK G power TR5 GP plugs, and Free mods. I'm wondering what mod would be best bang for the buck.

I vote for a 3600 - 4000 rpm stall converter !! It will probably cut the more time off of your et than ALL of the items above ! For a A4 its one of the biggest "bang for your buck " mod . Chopped .63 off of my et and it would of been .8 if the da was the same as my run w/o the stall converter .

Stall (3200-4000), and don't forget you get what you pay for.

I would really like to put a converter in my car, but my car has 95,000 miles on it and I would rather just wait till I can put a new trans and converter in at the same time.

I'm around the same miles too and that is same very same reason I do not do a converter. I do not want to install one and have the tranny takes a dump and take out the expensive converter at the same time. I vote for ls6 intake

As the others have stated, the converter is your best "bang for the buck".

Having any traction issues yet -- better tires are always nice if you are limited by traction.

On the list you have above, the intake will yield the most rwhp (coupled with a dyno tune it would be a nice gain) however the gears will certainly make things more fun from a seat of the pants standpoint.
