Default Will bushings be enough?

Ok, here's the deal. Money is a little tight, so want to get the most out of what I do spend (don't we all? [sm=smiley36.gif])
Here's what I'm thinking. Since I'm having all sorts of tire spin off the line, I don't see the sense of spending money for more power yet. I've already got some new 245/50-16 BFG G-Force-KDW's on the way to help with traction (been running 225/55-16 Invaders, whoever make those [sm=smiley6.gif]). And yes, I know drag radials would be a big improvement on the strip, but I do have to drive the car there and back [sm=smiley2.gif] Besides, I'm not as lucky as OB
While I'm sure the new tires will improve the traction problem some, I was wondering about putting polyurethane bushings in the rear suspension as well. Yes, I know they're are a ton of adjustable upper and lower control arms for the rear, but I don't have the $3-500 required to get those just yet. What I'm wondering is a $55 set of bushings will help.

And of course, I'll be willing to listen to any other ideas to help with traction as well.

I'd think it would help with handling more then traction for racing. I would probably help some but I'm not too sure either way.
