Default what to get with $700

so i just bought UPR rear u/l control arms and new spark plug wires and cap and rotor. i have $700 left over and am not sure what to buy.
Tell me what you guys think i should do...
1. gt40 or gt40p heads (then save for manifold and cam)
2. valve body and torque converter (my car is an aod and i have a B&M hammer shifter)
3. eibach drag launch springs and shocks/struts

i also bought some MT drag slicks off some guy for $75. they came with the 10 hole rims. they are in good shape.

I'd HIGHLY reccomend getting a custom built converter from Edge. You won't lose driveability, it's fun as hell to drive, and you'll drop a good amount off of your e.t. That's going to be 520 bucks with shipping included. Spend the rest on a tranny cooler and save up like 100 more dollars and get your self a different valve body.
