Garth , From what I have been looking at , seems like the 17 or 18 '' wheels and slicks seem to best bang for the buck . What do you think ?? As far as the suspension , starting out with rear lower control arms and toe links to hopefully get rid of some of the wheel hop , then possible sway bars front and back

I was getting high 1.6, low 1.7 60fts with just stock size drag radials with 30psi and no wheel hop. But I also drive with drag radials or slicks at all times.
I think Garth will agree that rear subframe and diff mounts are just as important as any suspension upgrade.

Anyone having problems with brakes screaming during relatively slow stops? I remember a thread on this a year or so back. The pads are fine and the dealer says they don't know what is causing it...have 35K miles on it.

Try removing the pads and removing any glaze with sandpaper and chamfer the ends. Then drive like you're on a road course......"don't brake until you see the face of God, just don't meet him". Poof.... no more glazing

Yep, totally agree. I'd say in order of priority - add diff mounts to your listed items 1st, subframe mounts 2nd.... the subframe really likes to walk around under increased power. Subframe inserts are a pointless stepping stone IMO (I did them, then removed and sold them)

Now Brian needs to tell you how he liked the stock clutch because he could slip the heII out of it for a great 60 foot...... but then he can replace his clutch at will where most have to fork out labor $$$ and don't have a lift. Oops..... did I give out a secret Brian

Smaller wheels and more sidewall is better to absorb the initial driveline shock. 16's require V6 brakes, which unless you intend to only 1/4 mile, isn't worth it IMO. Most 18s will fit over the SS brakes. 17's are the sweet spot - Bogarts are high end, look fantastic, but I didn't have good results with their tolorances and Steve refunded my money rather than making me a quality wheel set (wobbly on a balancing machine). I'm betting somehow they probably paid special attention to making Ross's COPO wheels though. Welds are priced just right, tight tolorances like the Forgelines, and look great - for a lowered car though, you will need the BMR adjustible lower control arms to clear the rims on hard launches. Look at your tire choices too..... for 17s the choices are M&H 325/45/17 drag radials or Hoosier 28x10x17

Nitto makes a 335/35/18 nt 555 drag radial same height a stock, will need an 11 inch rim though.
