since you dont want to do heads and intake (which you really need), get gears. youll notice the biggest change in performance for the money you have to spend

no alum driveshaft is a waste of money.

Get some wheels and slicks, or drag radials if you prefer. Et street is a good tire. Above suspension you need traction. Suspension helps to give traction, but in the end its the quality of the tire. Get a good tire then work your suspension.
