Better 60ft. times in a foxbody mustang...how to do it?

i'd like to find out any tricks of the trade or mods that i haven't thought of yet in order to get better 60ft. times in my Mustang. It's a 90GT with few suspension mods. All i have pretty much is Lakewood 90/10's in the front and 50/50's out back. Stock springs and Steeda rear lower control arms. So far to date i've only been able to pull off a 1.95 60ft on BFG drag radials (215/50/15). That was on an unprepped track. I've tried slipping clutch at 2500, slipping it at 3500, 3000, and 4500. I either spin the damn tires to much or it just takes off to slow and i end up getting a 2.0 60ft. 18psi in the tires. I'm thinking i just need tires that will give me more grip. Maybe some Slicks or something else. If you guys can give me some advice i'd much appreciate it. right now i'm in iraq but when i get home on my 2 week R&R then i'm gonna continue where i left off with the car. It traps 110mph, and the best time i've been able to get was 12.77, which was the same run i finally pulled off a sub-2.0 60ft. Would a line lock help alot when it comes to warming up the tires? Usually when i do my burnouts (my car is a manual) the car rolls forward pretty quick and so can't spin the tires for very long and there's no smoke coming off them. I also do my burnouts in 2nd gear i've been able to spin the tires longer and harder than in 1st gear. So any tips would be gladly accepted because i don't know if theres anything out there that i might have not thought of. thanks

and powershifting has always been a part of my driving style at the track. i know that is supposed to knock off a tenth or two.
