Need racing suspension help!

Need racing suspension help! I thought I was doing good headed in the right direction with the 10-bolt 3.23 setup I had:
UMI Trans relocation
UMI TA set at -2
UMI SFC's
UMI Adj PHB
UMI Tubular lowers
Sway-bar in place
got a best of 1.59 60' and could lean on it hard with the thinking next visit I could get mid 1.50's.
Then I changed to a MWC 9" 3.70. It comes with it's own TA which we set at -3 and a trans relocation. I did manage a single 1.60 60' with it but most are 1.70's now and just can't use what it has. Usually best launches are 1500-2000 and flash it. If I could use all it had bringing up the R's higher it would for sure do mid 1.5's. I should also mention I dropped the front sway-bar now. Did pinion angle mess things up? I was thinking of going to -1 to see if it would help. What should that do?
I am also lowered with BMR 1.25" drop springs all around and SLP Bilstein shocks. I couldn't stand the 4x4 look! At the point when I added the springs I had to get shocks to control them so that took me out of drag shocks but from what I understand some of those you can lower the car too. Maybe I should have looked at them over this setup first.
Any suggestions? See any suspension piece or adjustment I can make?
