Not HP but maybe suspension/braking mods to better handle the xcharger when it comes?

Agreed, if you are going to add the Xcharger focus on the other things you need. Upgrade to an 8.8" rear end if you haven't already. Upgrade the LCA.

What Jim said.

And a watts link is better than panhard bar for keeping the rear centered when loading and unloading the suspension.

Or else an aluminum driveshaft is easy and in your price range.

Definitely put the money towards upgrading your car to get it ready for the Xcharger.
