The best improvement in actual (not bench racing) performance of any car comes with putting the best, stickiest rubber on the ground.

I run Toyo R888s and have great traction (not quite wrinkle-wall traction, but close), even with >600 ft-lb RWTQ. These are not as good as Greg's MTs, but are a little sportier in the cornering department.

All mods are some compromise, but never compromise on getting the best tire you can fit. BFGs, Sumos, Yokos (even the A032R - I have run those rockahamas...) are not suited to put down the power in many of these cars and they then become dangerous unnecessarily.
