traction

I have an 82 camaro with a 2.73 rear end, limited slip, a th-350, and a 3000 stall, i am about to pu ta 400+ hp 350 in it, what could i do to get traction, keep in mind this is a street/strip car, and a daily driver so a little bit of gas mialage is important, i was thinking, air shocks and about 12 inch radials, would that help, i also heard something about something you put in the rear that can make it a posi, any help is appreciated, thanks

2.73's and a 3000rpm stall converter are going to cause some major slipping and heat in the tranny--hope you have a good cooler.
limited slip=posi.
You will have better traction with good, high quality, tires that fit correctly than huge wide tires with air shocks.
