I had u/l phb, lcas, 25mm sb, sfc and a bmr style trak pack adj torque arm. Car didnt really hook on the street untill i just put on the lca relo brackets. Night and day difference! You can always do things after but as noted start with a good tire, shocks, sfc, lca's, and relo brackets! Get the tq arm, phb, sb, etc later. See how it works for you and slowly add things untill you get the results your after but start with the basics then going all out when its not needed.

Absolutely. If anything I would go with a good tire on a 15" wheel, LCA's with relocation brackets and a chassis mount torque arm. I'd actually suggest tires and torque arm first since, if the stock one is original it's old and has been known to bend or crack under serious load. And yes, a panhard rod is for lateral acceleration and will do nothing to benefit drag racing.

The purpose for having adjustable LCAs is to center the wheel in the wheel-well. If the body on your car is straight and you're using a 10-bolt rear then they really aren't needed.
You want the adjustable relo brackets, not necessarily adjustable LCAs.

The only reason to go with an adjustable is if your diff is not square with the rest of the car. Get weld on relocation brackets and have a competent shop weld them who can ensure the diff is true before they are welded up. After they are welded, ensure the rear is square. If it's not then go w/ adjustables. If it is then get boxed or tubular. Tubular may save you a little more weight than boxed.

Alright guys thanks! I'll deff probably do the one by one modding thing and see what it nets me the car this motor came out of was running 1.7 60 foots i know i can approve upon that and hopefully knock off some good ET's. Any reason the Rear won't be square? my car seems straight no kind of squat to either side.

I had to switch to adj LCAs when I put on the LCA relocation brackets and 28" tires. When the tires grew they rubbed the front of the wheel well. The adjustable LCAs fixed that.
Boxed was perfect till then, but it sucked doing things 2x .I also had the car aligned and corner balanced the other day and the rear is 100% square.
