Get the SFC's before you do anything else and save your body. After that I would ask myself what is worn out? How many miles are on your car? If it needs ball joints, tie rods, strut mounts ETC I would worry about that before I went into performance mods. No point in having it hook if that stuff is worn out. Now having said that this is the order I would go:
-Shocks and struts - I love the Bilstein set-up personally. No need to adjust them and they do well at the track and the road, but if true street strip is what you need get something adjustable like a QA1 set-up
-Springs - Again, I owuldn't lower it if you want it to hook but that is up to your personal preference. I would actually go with stock 84 firebird springs. They will still handle well and offer up enough weight transfer for a decent launch
-Tubular LCA's - I would suggest poly bushings or 1 rod end and non-adjustable unless you are lowering the car
-Tubular Panhard bar - see above
-Good tires - I like the Nitto 555's for the front and 555R's for the back but shop around and find what fits your budget best. Stay away from ET streets, BFG drag radials etc, they will get you killed in the rain
-TORQUE ARM!!!! - this will be your best mod for traction that isn't a tire. Again I would suggest non-adjustable and tranny mount for your power levels but that is up to you.
Then start saving for a 12 bolt, you might need it!
