Default Help I Need Traction

Ok guys this is my first post so please bare with me, I've been searching on most of the mustang boards for some info so I figured I might as well post and ask.
I need traction, I've got a 90 GT, full weight car, 5 speed, stock exhaust even the factory cats, 4.11 gears, under drive pulleys and ofcourse I've dropped the silencer and and cranked the timing. Last week I can my quickest time ever a 14.113@98.6 mph but I was spinning BIG TIME. I cut a 2.26 60' on that pass.
Now the tires I'm running skinnies up front and Drag Lites with 265/50R15 Cooper Cobras on the back. The week before I cut about 4 2.0 60 foots and belive it or not it was still spinning....my slowest that day was a 2.25 and I was averaging in the 2.1 range.
Ok here's the question, does anybody know of any like freebie type tricks I can pull on it to get some more traction, I'm not cheap or anything I'm trying to catch my buddies 13.60 almost stock Trans Am and I'd like to do it on REAL street tires without any major aftermarket suspension mods to kind of keep it fair.
I'm probably gonna drop the sway bar off the front tommorow and see what I can do. My thoughts are this....

Drop the Sway Bar
Put a set of 4 cylinder springs on the front
Move the battery to the hatch

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance guys. I know this car can be a lot quicker I just have to figure out how to keep it from spinning through 3 gears.
