Air bags is a good idea. I put them in my Isuzu Amigo and with 35psi in each it has a rake and the rear end don't dive during acceleration.

$25 traction bars and you can paint them yellow. Because yellow = performance.

Which 13" slicks are you running? How tall are they?
First thing I would do is check the condition of the rear shocks.
I am running all stock rear suspension using 15" 22: tall et drags and they are working pretty decent for being so short. My best 60" so far hads been in the mid 1.6's with a 7.55 @ 92mph in the 1.8th.
