I would:
save for headers + ory + cut-out + catback. it will not give you the most bang for the buck, but ut will provide the best foundation for a cam and top end build. otherwise get the bottle and "hulk-out" every once in a while for the most $ per hp.
side note, do you guys think it is more expensive to get an lsx a4 car going faster than an m6? counting the stall and the transmission work, but lsx clutches are friggin' nuts as well...

Faster? Yes.
Quicker? No.

I've seen a converter and some sticky tires do wonders on an otherwise stock car.

hey guys ive already got the nitrous on it and headers im looking for something else for a bang for not alot of $$$ im thinking a 3500 stall converter. oh as for the guy who asked if autos are easier to make faster the answer is yes bc ive whooped a couple of ws6 cars in my 99 T/A b4 i had anything done to it i believe at the track i beat 1 by a tenth so auto is the way to go at the track man or street but 6m ofcourse is more fun.

A stall should help you significantly, but as far as the A4 being faster, that all depends on car. Some cars run better than others and you also have to take driver ability into account.

A4 is by far the better platform if you're going all out drag car, but the M6 can be made fast without much trouble.

While were on the topic of intakes. What kind of power gains could you expect to see from a LT/ ls6 intake combo after a tune? On a m6 and on a a4?

why the hell would you get a cutout and catback, basically the same thing, especially if you get an electric cutout, waste of money if you got a catback, best bang for buck (that is a hp mod) is in my signature, and i believe i ran a 7.45 in the 1/8 without any juice an SI, these cars are capable of low 12s by doing the right mods...if you get a converter get a yank or vig
