So after this deployment my mach will have
-O/R X-p
-aftermarket catback
-custom tune
-CAI
-intake spacer
-Larger TB (not sure what size to go with)
Next items are going to be
-4:10 gears
-Alum drive shaft

What else would be good to help this car hookup, bang for the buck items. I have no clue what would be good... would front strut tower braces and rear shock braces stiffen things up and help it hook better?

Sounds like your main focus is straight-line performance. Budget speaking, do the control arm mod. There are also kits which include other components beneficial for good weight transfer such as softer struts for the front, of which Steeda has a few good ones, depending on $. Don't forget good rubber as well. IMO, street tires are 50% of hooking up problems.

I say control arms and DRs too. Those would do the most for the least $$. You're going to need them with those 4.10s, trust me.

One thing you need to add to that list is a STS, I recommend an MGW. Best mod for $150 Imo. I'd go so far as to say that it should be everyone's first mod.

BFG KDW's, I've found, are a good compromise between street tires and DR's. LCA's are a good step in the right direction (Mega-Bite JR's have been recommended to me on many occasions), UCA's (I've been told, no first-hand) are more for all-out drag cars where pinion angle is crucial. I've also picked up a full front suspension for mine (QA1 K, A-arms, coil-over conversion, and Lakewood 70/30's), that has made a world of difference in weight transfer. Quad-shocks are TOTALLY OPTIONAL lol

What is an STS and a MGW? sorry new here...

USMCrebel

STS=short throw shifter
MGW is the brand of short throw

before gears do the lower control arms (MM)
and after that i might would throw some 70/30 strut shock things on your car to have the weight transfer.
