what ya'll really need to do is put the car in "Race" gear once your at speed, like on the highway. just bang the shifter into the "R" position and let 'er rip! lol, j/k

I know of people who do that when ever they take their moded daily drivers to the drag strip.
Put their racing tires onto lightweight rims. Then remove: back seat, front passenger seat, spare tire, jack, amps, subs, any speakers that are easily accessible, etc. I know of one Grand Prix owner who even removes the stock driver seat and installs a lightweight racing seat. Even drains the street gas from the gas tank and puts in just enough racing fuel for the race(s).
This is just for the race. Parts are removed and stored in a van or truck at the track. Then after the race, everything gets put back together as their daily driver.
I used to read a lot of this in High Performance Pontiac magazine when I owned my Grand Am. A lot of Grand Prix owners would do this.

I have an idea, if it slips once, a free gain would be to have a bigger friend.
