1. Tires
2. Control arms
3. Subframe connectors
4. SAVE $$$ for a heads and cam swap!!! With stock heads I wouldn’t touch anything on the engine, concentrate on traction and then save up to do it all at once.

Look into the AFR/FTI combo. You can pick up a set of 165cc heads and have FTI spec out a custom cam and have the power to see high 11’s/low 12’s with nothing more than a bolt on 302. I’ve seen it done twice with some cars belonging to good friends of mine. 12.1 @ 115 out of a fox GT, 11.7 @ 119 out of a more aggressively set up LX hatch.
