I would sugggest getting a torque converter first. A lot less can go wrong, and its easier to put in, and cheaper. There is nothing like hitting the gas and taking off like a freight train! A properly matched stall can drop 1/2 second, which is what you are looking for.
Yeah a stall is gonna run you about $700 + install and a cam will be in the same ballpark. Sticky tires aren't too expensive but the rear end you will need after you break the 10 bolt on them is. Probably your cheapeset bet would be a 100 shot, it should get you in the 11's on it's own. Once you hit mid 12's really nothing comes cheap anymore.
Yank SS3600 or Vig 3200 and some M/T ET Street radials. I see you have a prokit and LCA's? Do you have relocation brackets too? Cuz if you don't, you should. Your 60' times will drop to low 1.7s easily. Maybe 1.6x's.
