for the car I am wanting to make it into a track toy that can also play with the American muscle that is running around on the streets (Cameron SS and Charger SRT).
I am guessing that the seat locks are a first priority since everyone is mentioning them. After that probably the frame connectors and chin splitter.
Thanks for the suggestions, more are welcome.

Will s2kmugen or alleykat be at the tech day tomorrow? I am not wanting a full blown drag car, just some more power to where I am not losing to a 16 year old punk in a stock Mustang GT. 
If the drag car was desired then I need to find another platform to start with.

you will need boost if you want to beat the newer stock mustang GTs... or gears...
not bad in my opinion for only having gears and stock everything else.
if you want a drag car I would recommend a an early foxbody. they're just as light as our cars and you could put any engine under the sun in them (big or small block) cram some spray down its throat and you got an 11 second car for 5 grand.

You can on the other hand beat a camaro ss with full bolt on and gears but for the cost of all that you would be in a supercharger territory

Typically...
Turbos are more efficent and will beat out superchargers on the top end due to higher horsepower numbers. Downside: have to spool the turbo.
Superchargers MAY beat out turbos off the line due to the high torque numbers depending on the setup. Emphasis on MAY. Downside: Power leeching due to the way superchargers work (inefficent in comparison to turbos) and top end will not be as potent as a turbo.
Can you tell I'm a turbo advocate? lol
And to answer your question:
Seat Locks are a great place to start.
Front Lip is usually a good, quick, semi-cheap add on right away.
Wheel locks may be another option. I know AP2V1 wheels like to vanish.
Radio is a definite yes later on.
That should get you started.
