Personally, I would probably do either a torque arm or the Hal shocks first. The motor bolts or rests on the k-member, so you would need to unbolt the motor mounts and support the motor while you swapped out k-members. Not an easy task, but do-able. I would probably look into the Hal shocks to get that weight transfer. Also if its a M6, I would look into a 12 bolt so you can really start launching that thing

the car is any automatic.. we were looking into torque arms but the description of the k-member seemed to me like it would make more difference in 60 ft times... am i wrong?

The k-member will take a little weight off the front end and help a little with the weight transfer, but I just feel like there are some other things that shuold come first.
