Nothing will help you hook more than tires. Do all the suspension mods in the world and you still won't 60ft like you will with stock suspension plus slicks or ET streets.

increasing your pinion angle helps your traction. You can do that with adjustable control arms.but traction is only as good as your tires.

If straight line is your fancy then aquire a set of lift bars and have them installed. Great investment. If you plan on lowering your car then I would also suggest adj. upper cntrl arms for a better pinion angle. Don't have those lift bars installed until desired height is reached. I would also buy a set of Tokico Illumina Drag struts and shocks. Great drivability and great launches at the turn of a tab.
David- stop by my house and check out the car, I changed something. :bling:
