Good morning Dan and to all,
I was going to suggest a quality set of shocks, they aren't going to be cheap but I'm sure will be worth it allowing you the ability to "tune " your suspension. Another thing that comes to mind is to make sure all your suspension components are "free to move" and the front and rear wheels are all heading in the same direction. I believe if you allow the suspension to work / move that you should be able to leave at a higher RPM, and pick up some ET, and not spin the tires. Years ago I bracket raced a 1962 Impala with a coil suspension, and I found found once I freed up the suspension and allowed free movement, I was able to leave around 4500 rpm. The car had 9x30 firestone slicks and a 350 chevy engine. Nothing fancy by todays standards. I hope this helps , if you have any questions I'll be a the Grove for the Dutch Classic. Good luck.
Respectfully,
