Question Need help figuring out best suspension for traction? I want to grip, not spin!

hello, i have a 95 stang gt it has a 327 engine supercharged with a tubukar k member, tremec trans, and a ford 9 inch and i was wondering if anyone can help me figure out what is the best suspension to use for traction, i want to grip, not spin...my rear is a nine inch with 3.55 gears, lakewood lower control arms but set up just like the 8.8 was, in the stock 8.8 placement...would traction bars help, if so how do you install, also would changing the pinion angle help, and if so what is the right way to do that...i want to lift the tires off the ground the first time to the track with this car..thats how much i want to gripp....thanks alot for your time steve

lakewood drag springs, is what you need for the track. pinion angle set to neg 3.2 helped mine hook but i have a stiffer spring for road handling. so i still have some wheel hop.
