traction problems

Hopefully someone here can help. I have a 84 T/A it has a 305 lg4 with a edelbrock performer intake and 600 holley. My tranny is a 700r4 with a shift kit. The rear end is the stock 3.23's. I run a 10.1 is a 1/8 mile strip at 68.28 mph. Watching the recording halfway down the track I do nothing but spin until I am about a secong or two in second gear. Is there any aftermarket items that I could purchase to improve traction, besides tires and a posi ? If anyone has any ideas thatt would be helpful, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty sure Lakewood makes some pretty trick control arms and other rear suspension upgrades that work very well on 3rd Gen F-Cars.

Try lowering your tire pressure, I used to run 35psi in all four tires, but now I run 35 in the steers and 32 in the drives and it improved my traction.

I still get wheel spin when I launch over 2000rpm, but it grabs sooner than with the higher pressure.

If you are spending money, I hear the Spohn relocating brackets work.
