Default Major launch problems. Help please

I went out to the track tonight for the first time since some new mods, latest dyno numbers were 393/370. Here are the average horrible passes.
2.36 60'
12.7 @114

2.19 60'
12.6 at 115

Im running 315 Nitto Drags and trying all kinds of launches. I had the better 60's spinning than bogging. But when i spun it was pretty severe.

Only drivetrain/suspension mods are 12bolt (3.42) ram clutch, pro kit, and biltsteins.

I guess im going to get a set of slicks and work on getting lower control arms and panhard. What else am i doing wrong. I believe the car has 12.0-12.2 in it with these gears. Thanks

Slicks will help alot. Practice is the key.

if you stick with the nittos you'll need to do a badass burnout...but i had a set of 275/50/15's on my blown v6 truck and even with that i was blowing away the tires launching at like 2 or 3 grand...id say go with a slick or dot legal slick.
