Default What first? Front shocks or T/A or ?

This question has probably been posed a thousand times in different forms or fashions, but..... I can't make my mind up about what to do first on my suspension. I will give my current set up to help y'all make a decision.

'99 T/A lq4,L92 heads, cam, L76 intake, full bolt-on's
3.42 geared stock 10-bolt
stage 2 performabuilt 4l60e with Yank ss3600
made 402 rwhp unlocked on EPS dyno on motor
Nitrous Outlet 90mm wet plate kit

Anyway, my suspension is mostly stock except for an aftermarket k-member, non-adjustable lower control arms, and weld-in frame connectors. What should I do first? Adjustable torque arm? CE rear adj. shocks? Strange SA front shocks?

To help clarify, the car hooks pretty hard on M/T 275 50 15 drag radials on welds. However, the 60 foot is awful....usually 1.70 - 1.75 with a best of 1.63 on motor. I hear of everybody going 1.5's or consistent low 1.6's. I'm not even close. I have been footbraking the converter. Should I flash it? Help me pick the next suspension mod....best bang for the buck. Thanks.
