Lower control arms (LCA) for the rear is a good starting point.Good tires are important.
Looser front shocks /drag racing springs help if you race alot.
Drag racing swaybars (or removal of stock front unit)helps weight transfer.
Practice practice practice.(at the track)
That's what test and tune nights are for.
Experiment with launch RPMS. Take notes.
If it bogs, try more RPM next time.
If it spins use less RPM.
Use your 60' times as a gauge of your improvements(failures).
Your quickest 60' is what you are looking for.
