Cheap ways to drop ET?

[Nixon1]

My 60 ft times SUCK. My ET's suck. I need some help here to get her to hook, guys. I think I've found the tires I'll run with it...they arent drag radials, they'll last a little longer....but they're Cooper Cobra ZHP-01's. They hook pretty damn well so far...but if anyone has a suggestion of a better street tire for traction in the rear, let me know.

Now I'm looking for ways to get it to hook better. Free if possible, but cheap works too. I heard something about using 4 cylinder springs as cheap drag springs....would these go in the back?

And how about my front swaybar? Should I remove it?

Thanks guys... My BEST 60' in the new motor is only a 2.345....pulled a 2.78 once on a set of piss tires. I NEED TO HOOK it. I'll be knocking on high 13's if I can bring my 60' down to a solid 2.0.
