If you seem to be fine driving without a front sway bar then I would have to believe you are more drag orientated than handling correct? I would run a set of Strange adjustable front and rear with a set of 300# front springs. For the rear I would stick with the factory V-8 springs.
You can adjust the shocks enough for a decent street ride and then readjust them for track conditions.
Are you running a rear swaybar on the car?

The 300# springs would still work great. The reinstalled front swaybar as you well know won't leave the front suspension as free for weight transfer is the only down side.

The rear sets up higher due to the increased axle tube diameter of the aftermarket housing.
