Headers and a Lid since you didn't list one.. Also might want to pick up a FTRA and a set of 373 gears..

So you have a cam but don't know the size??? I would definitely want to know that.. What kind of numbers are you putting out? Do you atleast know the brand?

As for suspension.. a boxed in LCA, TA, whatever else tickles your fancy..

Were you holding down on the brake and pushing on the gas before the race began?

You didn't answer my question of what gears are in the car.

Get headers and Y.

1999 autos can either have 2.73s or 3.23s but not 3.42s those came with the manuals. Finish the exhaust, get a lid then do the gears after. Oh and a good drag radial for that converter of yours or else you will just sit and spin.
