Default Advice to set up 2002 T/A

Help. Need input on setting up a 02 T/A with 37k miles on it for drag race only.
Want to keep the A4 and 10bolt as long as they will last.
So what do you suggest as priorities for the set up??
Thanks for all your input, I have been looking at this forum for sometime and I am finally ready.

If this is a drag car only, start from the back and move to the front. Build a great foundation before you start adding HP. You can cut a lot of time with suspension and weight removal. Get a good rear and a set of gears that will work for what you will build. Then move to the trans and build the snot out of it. After that you can start to add HP. No point in adding a lot of HP if you can't use it or will start to grenade parts with it.

Do it once and do it right.
