Default need input on my set-up

ok guy, I don't post alot in here, so bear with me. I have decide to start with my suspension now. I was doin a cam but the horsepower gods didn't agree & my clutch took a dump. So since I sent everything back I figure suspension would be a better starting point this time. Here is what I should have on the car by the end of July.

Pacesetter Race LT's
TSP ORY
P/P 02' TB
BMR adjustable panhard
BMR non-adjustable LCA's w/relocation brackets
BMR boxed SFC

How much should these parts improve my times??
My current best is : 13.4 @ 104.7 w/2.1 60'

I'm also lookin at a UMI tunnel mounted torque arm w/o loop.

UMI Chassis-mount TA is great...

My buddy (Little G) runs one on his '02 3.8, and said the car felt much better.

You dont need an adj panhard a non adj is all you need until you go with some big tires. Dont buy a throttle body either get your clutch fixed and buy some 16" rims and some good drag radials. I would buy
1. clutch
2. drag radials you should be able to cut atleast a 1.7 60 's with some BFG's
3. long tubes
4. relocation brackets if you cant hook and some lca's if you are getting bad wheelhop

Well I already have a LS7 clutch kit w/flywheel on the way from TSP & my Pacesetter race LT's are goin in now w/TSP ORY. Also the P/P 02' TB is already on the car now, so those are covered. I have been lookin around & am gonna get a panhard, LCA's & relocation brackets. Then see where I stand after that.
