The 4R70W will handle up to 400 hp/400 ft #'s. I don't think that beefing up his trans is something that needs to be done right away.
I'd start with gears, high flow cat H or X-pipe, and a bigger MAF. They should help drop about 4 tenths off your 1/4 and will still be used if and when you add a power adder. If you don't plan on a power adder, then your second round of mods you can throw on a set of underdrive pulleys, a catback or mufflers, and a chip.
