Default when should i be worried about no traction?

right now im expecting 430-440 rwhp out of my set up, all the bolt ons and f13 cam and afr heads that arent milled (well for now at least). i have nitto street tires and at first when we went for a ride, dad was driving, he got on it in 1st through 3rd and didnt really get any wheel spin on accel.

i have stock 3.42's and nittos, well i found out he only went 67% throttle in 1st after looking at the logs, about the same in 2nd and 3rd he finally went WOT. im just wondering what you guys have seen on the track and street with that kinda power and with the stock gears, what kind of wheel spin you are seeing out of it, and through which gears. i want to go to the track soon but i might just wait to get something better for the rear, tires and whole rear end, before i do it seeing i had some traction troubles with just boltons.

im also thinking about 3.90-4.30 gears but im thinking i should stay near 3.90 range for the street, that is if the other end of it will present too much wheel spin.
