A different differential would be a more likely/practical step: either torsen or a proper plate-type diff.

Various after market engine management systems can off traction control, especially if you have ABS sensors.

Excellent. Any form of traction control will only benefit you (ie speed you up) if you already have an LSD / torsen diff though. Without it youll only ever be overwhelming one wheel - when youre overwhelming both then you need traction control, or would benefit from it, at least.
