half giant psychic warrior does well at all levels. also consider illithid slayer to increase BAB. ranger 1 psychic warrior 4 illithid slayer 10 psychic warrior 5-9
1 ius
3 improved grapple
6 over channel
9 talented
12 2wf
15 i2wf
18 g2wf

expansion and the augmented version of it help considerably
gloves of titan's grip add +8 to grapple checks until you can augment grip of iron above that.

grip of iron +14 grapple
expansion increases 2 size categories

form of doom grants 4 extra tentacle attacks that can all be used to grapple. more attacks means more opportunities to grapple.

freedom of movement, psionic will keep you from being grappled when you decide you would rather not be grappled.

total grapple at level 20
base attack bonus +17
str 18 +2 racial +5 inherent +5 level +6 enhancement + augmented expansion +4 = 40 str (+15)
size medium + powerful build + augmented expansion = +12
improved grapple +4
augmented grip of iron +14
-2 twf
= grapple bonus of 60
+30 to hit on touch attack
grapple checks +60/+60/+55/+55/+55/+55/+55/+55/+50/+50/+45
+1 to hit and one attack if hasted
