Default Xd Falcon Traction

currently putting my combo together and will be doing a bit of racing next season,
the car is a street car and wont be tubbed so im a little concerned about traction, im after some tips on slick sizes or suspension set up recommendations to get the power down (without drastically altering things)

set up is as folllows

xd falcon 3100lbs
434ci approx 700hp 600lbft
convo pro on front runners
8.5inch convo pro rear
pedders 90/10 front shocks
pedders soft rear shocks on leaf rear end
6000rpm stall & transbrake
4.56gears

what do yous think the largest slick diameter & width i can fit in these guards on these wheels?
will traction bars or caltracs help?
is there any chance of getting the power down with that sort of launch rpm & hp?
any tips appreciated, would like to pull a good number without chopping the car up/tubbing cages etc..
