Default Bog bog bog..help!

I never used to have this problem but do now. It must be my combo.
I have 3.42 gears. M6 with textralia twin disc. Stock 10 bolt. I have nitto
drag radials standard 17 inch 275 size.
My engine currently has b1 MTI cam..221/221/558/558/114lsa and I have underdrive pulley ,cutout, stock exhaust manifolds and fast 90 and nick williams 90 tb.

I realize this combo seems a bit goofy and not sure how much problems having the huge intake and tb is creating on my little 346. I had long tubes
and 3.73 and 4.10 gears in the car previously but had terrible gear whine so went back to 3.42s. No whine but wimpy rear end ratio.

Shortly I am installing APS twin turbos and possibly install my GT7 turbo cam and some patriot stage 3 heads maybe. Plans call for new 408 or 427 within a year or two.

Anyway trying to launch at like 3000 where seems could launch pre nittos but now with current setup its bog,bog bog. I can't seem to get the wheels to spin and move the car out. Maybe not enough gear,maybe clutch is too grippy maybe that fast combo is killing my bottom end. If rev it to 3000 or even tried 4000 today car just losing rpm to like 1000 when let out the clutch and car just bogs and takes forever to recover. I thought maybe vacuum leak but just tested car with smoke tester and no leaks. I may have one cylinder not firing 100% though have to check one plug that think was cracked when took headers off to sell last year.

So do I just have to launch at like 5000 now with my killer clutch and the nittos on there. I am a bit worried about the stock rear end but figured with nittos should be fairly safe. Should I dial up the nitto airpressure so they spin and don't dead hook so well? Think they are at 24 psi but have to check? Would a bit of spin help me out here? Should I have to launch past
5000 that seems pretty crazy high?
I am not a noob and know to basically hit the gas as you let out the clutch but its not working anymore with my current setup.
I am planning on dana 60 or 9 inch and figured some 3.73 gears would be big help here but everyone with turbos is saying to go lower so then would go 3.54 with dana but then will I still have this terrible bog problem. Maybe I am just being a chicken ahnd have to launch at 5000. Just cringe with stock 10 bolt with the thought of trying that.
I think combo of sticky nittos and 3.42 and mabye soft low end from the 90mm tb and intake is making it so I have to go way up the powerband?

What you guys think?
