QA1 shocks will kill $300 of that budget.
Adjustable TQ arm will kill the other $400.

I would do lower control arms(TCA001) and relocation brackets(CAB002) to help make the most of the tires you have. If you have any questions regarding out product line please feel free to ask.

lower control arms, lca relocation brackets, subframe connectors, and torque arm would be a great start. It's what I went with. If you are looking to drag and make this into the 11s I would definitely suggest a chassis mounted torque arm over the full length ones. That will set you back around 400. LCA and relocation brackets should set you back about 200 and sfc about 150.

might as well get it now. if you get a chassis mounted torque arm it doesn't really matter what transmission you have in there. I highly suggest the chassis mounted torque arm as apposed to the full length.

TH400 trannies are bullet proof but VERY heavy, which is not good for a drag car.

With $700? I'd lose weight out of the car. At 3500lbs, you've got a lot of stuff to get rid of, even on a daily driver.
