Tough call. Personally I'd do LTs/ORY, because then you'll get better sound out of it too 
and save up for the stall. And without good drag radials, a stall won't gain you as much on the track as it would with a good tire.

We'll see I guess.

well since i have been in your situation i say go with the long tubes.... u can get the stall but u may not feel the power gain..... trust me u either want a Yank or a Vig and those are about $800 prices. Long tubes are cheaper but remember they wont make your car louder they will quiet it down a little bit because the exhasut tone has a longer distance to travel and quiet out.... Best bang for buck in my opinion are the long tubes since the stock manifolds suck and restrict a lot of power. Happy hunting....

Put a car with longtubes next to one with stock exhaust and see which is louder.

What??! That is quite possibly the funniest thing I have read in this section in a while.

A torque converter will shave more time off of your E/T. It's your call, would you rather have a quicker car, or make your car sound like it's quicker than it really is?

I would go the long tube route first. You may shave 1/10's off on your ET's with a stall, but you will do this with a longtube set up as well. Average ET gain with a good stall and GOOD tires is about .4 to .6 off you ET's. Average gain with a longtube set up is .4 to .6 off of your ET.
I went stall and then LTs, stall picks up like crazy on stock manifolds but is even more fun with Long Tubes.

who said that u get a power with a stall.....???? I am speaking in terms of power gain big difference. a stall can definetalty shift your powerband around and with a stock internal car u wont feel a big difference.... In terms of long tubes it will wake up the car since the manifolds are proven to be very restrictive. Ask anyone here who went to long tube and see if there is a difference.

Any stall substantially bigger than the stock one you will feel the difference, and most likely have a better 60' with traction.
You would need larger gears though with that large of a stall.
A proper stall for a stock internal car and yes, you will feel a huge difference.

Im not gonna say any names but some people just shouldnt respond if they dont have a clue. I dont care how little or how much HP you make, the RIGHT stall on ANY car you will ALWAYS feel a difference...and there is no way in hell long tubes can make a car "softer" note. Wow. 
Im going to do both anyway. Was just curious witch one people thought would be smart first.
