Instead of worrying about going to slicks why not invest in the GTM traction control system which has proven to work?!?!
Here is a video of a 40th making 550rwhp with traction control. The racelogic system allows the user to use launch mode or select the amount of wheel spin they want to allow. The system cuts both ignition and timing to allow for the most power to reach the ground while maintaining traction... just a thought...
