Traction :/

Traction :/
So I'm having problem putting down power to the ground. To start I have an 05 gt with an intake/tune from bama, off road h, and custom slp mid muffler. Not bad but I should be able to grab traction.
I recently installed the upr race lower control arms, and a set of relocation brackets. I go out to my local strip on Friday nights and I still spin through 1st and some of 2nd with the stock 3.31s!!
I'm running the stock 235/55/17 tire which I believe is the problem. What tire could I get to correct this that would fit on the stock 17x8 wheel? Is there any other suspension part that would help without buying a whole new set of tires?

Well the clutch deal won't work because I don't have one. :/ I have an auto and with the traction control off it spins bad and with it on all of my power is cut. Lose-lose situation. I am probably going to just have to bite the bullet and buy new tires for the rear. Or maybe a used set of rims and tires for the track.
I'm getting ready to install 4.10s, Detroit rockers, jba lts, and a 3000 stall converter this summer, so traction is going to be more than needed.

I have a set of BFG drag radials, 275/40-17, old style tread, on stock rims. I can launch between 4500-6000 with minimal spin, on moderately warm tires. I run the stock 3:55 gears with a 5 speed, but I don't have a line lock and so don't do proper burnouts, just light 'em up outside the box as I come up to the line. I would suspect most of your wheelspin can be contained with a good set of drag radials.....
