Actually you should try on doing just the opposite. Get that suspension stiffened up with stiffer control arms and get subframe connectors and mabye even a roll bar. This is how trophy stock guys go so fast with a minimum of HP. The first 60' is the most crucial part of the run and optimizing for the fastest 60' will result in the best run. Of course, doing this may sacrifice streetability(4.30s may give the hardest launch but most people would'nt run them on the street).

You might want to try airing your slicks down to 10-12 psi; this is the pressure range I use except I have 26x10 M/T ET Streets. But I don't have any problem with spinning; I usually launch around 5000 rpm. It's too bad you have the AOD but at least you got a good stall converter.
