Rear end gears

I have 302 bored 40 over with f 303 cam edelbrock intake and carb a t-5 tranny with a centerforce dual friction clutch spinning 215 gears with 2955015 tires.
The problem I have is shifting(4800rpms):
1st- 0-55
2nd- 55-70
3rd- 70-100
4th- 100-125
5th- Never needed to go there
I am thinking there needs to be more shifting, so I will have less stall or drag when transfering from one gear to the next? What would be a alternative gear. I love the quick get up but not the momentary drag I am experincing after shifting. I would also like to be able to lay a little rubber as required by fellow on lookers.

Please don't tell me to get a larger motor!
Thanks in advance for your input!
