The wheel well foam is essential. I got the non-adjustable shocks and it rides and corners very well ( I don't track the car though). Get the half-shafts, drive shaft and retainer and the billet expansion tank. I'd also suggest stainless headers due to the weather in your area and the likelihood of sand and salt on the roads.

The 30 gal tank is adequate but have them plumb it for a return line and ensure that they put in a fuel gauge (neither option was explained to me when I first ordered the car, but I had them added later).

I also got the aluminum differential carrier, stainless roll bar, fire extinguisher, passenger side wheel well vents, stainless footbox heat shields, adjustable passenger seat and wool carpets. We also got the clutch package and, as best I can recall, around 3.80 differential gears.

We ordered our car sanded at the 300 grit level and polished it and brushed the center stripes ourselves. Took 2 months working weekends. We installed the carpets and it was quite a job.

We didn't order the stainless frame or the aluminum door and hood frames, but the car weighs in around 2150 pounds.

Good luck with your order and have fun!
