What chassis mods need to be done for the best traction?

I have a basically stock 350 TPI. Short of buying racing slicks (I'm looking for street application), what components can I buy to make the car launch better? I mean traction bars, whatever, and the brands I should buy from. I'm not interested in lowering the car (aren't they enough trouble with how low they are now?), but if there are better shocks/struts I can get that won't affect ride height, I'm open to that too. Thanks!

I posted this before. I have the "new" SouthsideMachine lift bar kit from Summit. Part #SSM-1316. Kit included lift bars, loop, crossmember and SFC's. Total cost was $489.99. Changed my plans (again) and not using this... going ladder bar set up on narrowed 12 bolt. I'm using the SFC's and loop but can give you a deal in the lift bars and crossmember. Welding required.
