jeez I don't like to think which one is best cause to me best is installing multiple items then feeling the difference, otherwise its like "oh yeah I can feel a small difference". Longtubes headers stall and gears make a huge difference with performance, as far as feeling it goes. Some people like one over another, but generally each of those seem to be the favorite ones.

Well, that'll get you started. Most guys that aren't in the know would recommend the aforementioned parts for anybody new to modding LS1s. But at LS1tech, we know better. Save your dough for some real mods, like the ones the other guys talked about.
FWIW, I should have done the stall first. Good rule of thumb for choosing a torque converter: Pick one you think you can handle...then go one step above it.
As I stated. Definitely a torque converter, however, jrp mentioned long tubes ... made me look at it from a different angle. With long tubes, you do get 'muscle' great sound, so, if it's not ONLY power and better times you're looking for, then, long tubes will give you that AND a nice-sounding ride ... will cost you more money, though, to do exhaust and intake in order for the LT's to give the full benefit. Costwise, probably converter first.

Even on street tires you should be faster with the converter. Learn to feather the throttle at launch so you don't roast the tires and you should essenetially be able to at least equal the 60', but you would get the shift extension advantage of the converter going into second and third.
