Based on you having 4:10 gears and your other mods it appears you are only looking for traction on the quarter mile. Is that correct? If so there are folks here that can offer advice.

My interest is road courses and the mods required for road courses are different.

1st mod should be better tires like some E/T Streets which will single handedly solve your problem. If tires are too much money, then get an adjustable Upper Control Arm and and some good tubular or billet Lower Control Arms and those two would also help you out significantly
