Well here is the issue, its called....
Street Tires + M6 = shitty on/off switch.
The car is heavy, its not geared correctly and the sidewalls are TOO stiff + the compund of a street tire will not allow a better 60' then what your doing.
You COULD ride the clutch out but thats a quick way of frying it.
If you think of upgrading the compound, for bolt ons, a DR like a M/T would do well, you may actually BOG (i did), also line lock is a must. Be aware, the high the rpm at launch, the harder it is on the rear and these cars have tooth pick rears.
Also be aware once a cam is added, a DR has that same on, off switch.
Solution: 12 bolt or 9" + Bias ply slick + 4.10 gear + 5,500 rpm dump = much better 60' that will be reliable.
Not to mention some other things you can throw on like TQ arm, LCA's
