Biggest bang for the buck is driver training.
After that, race tires.

Also my next question, what are the best tires i should get i have been on tirerack for a while reading up on all the diffrent one, another thing is should i just get all 4 or just 2 and then 2 really good ones for the rear? What about when they ask if i would like them heated, or shaved?

Honestly? A blower's not that important at autocross.

I agree. There have been many times that I was beat in autocross in my Steeda Mustang by smaller cars with 1/2 the HP. I believe the worst one that beat me was an 84 VW GTi mostly stock, beat my lap times by a large margin in a tight slow 2nd gear track, and I was top of my class too!

Good boy
Rollcage? You plan on flipping the car over? 
I flipped a SHO with no rollcage, and i turned out ok.
Id say, just strip the car of everything. even the windows. Once you get the feel , youll know what the cars weakness's are.

A properly built cage would rule out Subframe connectors... but thats never a bad option..
probably a 20.6mm front/ 23mm, 24 or 26mm rear swaybar setup depending on your personal choice....
Lighten the **** out of it... this will help the best...
A/C system........ gone
Seats.......... gone
Console........ gone
insulation/sound deadener....... gone
cruise control.......... gone
Catless y pipe to get rid of cats......

Don't forget alignment.. dial in a **** load of negative camber in front with radical toe out..
toe out the rear but keep the them as vertical as you can..
at least for autocross, you want the car to rotate like a top

I'm with FoeSHO - spent my first two years with my 99 Cobra chasing a girl in an ****** GT and a guy in a Neon.
Three things are important - Seat time, Seat time, & Seat time.
And the missing piece on your list is brake pads. I like the Carbotech Bobcats but it takes the first run to get some heat in them - then they're great. But my SHO is 90% street so you may want something even more aggressive, at least if you have ABS.
I'm aligned to -1.6 front -.5 (or was it .7) rear, 0 toe all around but again it's 90% street.
