Whats the best tire/suspension combo for max traction on the cheap?

I have a 383 motor with 3.73 gears in the rear & I have no traction at all! Whats the best tire/suspension combo for the least amount money? I also need to put my car on a diet of at least 200lbs. What can be removed from the car. The back seat is not needed!

From: pgh,pa,
go with the biggest tires possible, get some 15 inch wheels cause tires will be cheaper, most 275/60/15s will run you about $60 a peice, as for the weight, throw out the spare tire, A/C, smog crap, back seat, thats all i can think of right now.
