The no hop bars may allow you to get better geometry than the adjustable bars by themselves. (the rules seem to say adjustable upper arms are not legal, if they are, I wonder what else that appears to not be legal actually is?)

Have you tried changing spring rates on either end of the car?

The timing curve adjustments on the MSD to allow you to launch with low timing and bring more in will simply be a matter of testing. There may be someone who can give you a better starting point than you have, but the only way to get it dialed in is to go rent the track and beat on it, to see how much timing can be brought in and how soon.

Leaving at idle or stalled? Not hitting the tires hard uncertain if adjustable shocks are any benefit. Do they allow deep stage at these events?

I'll bite..a little bit...L-O-L:

If you're taking timing out to hook it, I'd try the following and I'd put the timing back in:

More sophisticated shocks...I suspect what you have now isn't exactly the best for the job.

One of these if you can get away with it:

H&R Parts & Stuff rear "sway bar" (more of an ARB than a sway bar since it does not attach to the lower rear trailing arms). Link: http://hrpartsandstuff.com

Hope this helps.
