What do you 5.0 guys do to make your stangs hook?

I have a 4 banger but i've messed around with it a little and i almost can chirp in 3rd gear if im dogging on it..... this is just with a header t5 tranny and 3.73 rear end gears, and the car is lightened up quite a bit.....
see http://www.ford23.com/shade/project90mods.html for a Modifications list
My problem is spinout pretty good now and i plan on doin some real stuff like exaust - ported head & cammed - nitrous kit - etc and im really gonna spin then, and i know the less i spin the quicker my 1/4 mile time is gonna be, so i'd rather not spin at all and be faster

get bigger tires and some upper/lower control arms/panhandle bar and some coil over you will be fine then but you wont eiminate all the spining. but it will eliminate wheel-hop and fishtailing and put that force to the ground.(dont know about the small 4-cyl rears)
