I got the lakewoods an they work pretty well with Ford racing uppers. FRPP uppers were like $60 or $70. Of course I don't got the power you do but I do have 3.73's. No wheel hop whatsoever if that tells you anything.

upper and lower control arms off of ebay. Along with some Eibach drag launch springs. Should do the trick. The KD's should help a lot also. GOod luck. What does your car do at the track?
