Better Rear Brakes?

Thanks everyone for the help. Jim, yes the car is driven allot on the street. It is not really that fast mid to high 13's. But he can only bring it up to 2k on the converter to cut a light. It has the original small engine in it (307). I was thinking about the using the larger brake shoes from two sets. But, I was not sure. Alan, is there a larger spring set to help the brakes release faster? Suggestions. Thanks to all and the IM's. How do you get the shoes to "set" better in the drum? You can see where they do not touch all the way around.
