Thats what I plan on going with next.

89 Cobra LX , make another change of the rear tires, this time to slicks, and you'll cut off atleast another 0.5 seconds

NO, don't get those.... I made the mistake buying those and I regreted it. I bought those for my car when I just bought her. The car was completely stock. The tires barely lasted me a year. Not to mention how crappy my traction was on a STOCK GT. After those, I bought a set of Brigstone Potenza's. They are equlivent to the Firestone Firehawks. They were expensive and did their job at first. After about 8 months on them, they can't hold my car though 2nd. I do have A LOT more mods since then After the stupid Potenza's burn up, I'm going to get a set of Nittios. Tirerack.com doesn't carry them but they sell them at Discount Tire. My friend with a blown 347 convert loves them (347MOM)! They might be a little more then what you want but they will hold a lot of power.
