Default Suggestions for chassis performance

Hi,

Newbie asks advice for chassis adjustments. Two videos from same pass:

9.15 @ 146mph
1.306 60ft

The car:

It's a -84 tube chassis Toyota Corolla
509 BB chevy, about 750hp
PG, 1.76 first gear
4.11 Rear gears
2380 lbs, 59% front, 41% rear (I know, iron headed BB weights)
Shifting at 6000rpm, 6400rpm max rev limiter because I can't attach a chute. The rear of the chassis is made of under 1" tubing.
New Super Gas/Pro Stock GY tires, 32x14x15
Racing Super Pro ET, All NHRA rules.

Should I do something with the chassis? Loosen the inbound setting at rear shocks? Higher and shorter IC with the 4-link? Looser front end? 4.33 gears and more revs? Or what? Obviously, I want to get the car in to the eights. Please mama, I want to go fast! :lol: Also, lifting the front tires wouldn't hurt.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
