Yea traction is what I need right now. I had some Mickey Thompson DRs on my old mustang and those hook very good. So I'll probaly go with a set of them. What will the control arms do for me?

U/L control arms will help you a LOT if you're still running stockers (looks like you are from your mods list). Strut tower brace and TQ box reinforcements and then sticky tires.

+1 on the U/L control arms. You've got some good power adders there so it's time to work on getting that HP to the pavement without spinning. And if you have some extra money left over, check out nitrousdealer.com and get a good Nitrous Express setup.

After christmas I'm going to buy some upper and lower control arms and some 26x10 slicks or some Mickey Thompson drag radials.
Would a aluminum driveshaft help out?

Drag shocks would also help you hook better.

suspension, you need to get what you have to hook and run faster before adding more power.
