Did you try adjusting your air pressure to maybe 15? Also if you don't have any suspension mods the tires wont do it all you need some good control arms and a torque arm and you'll see a big difference

as said already suspension will make a big difference control arms and a torque arm really helps you can also lose the front sway bar that will help get the weight off the front during hard launches
You're running drag radials, not full slicks. 10psi is dangerously low. Start at 19psi and drop in 1/2 pound increments until you dead hook.

Lower control arms will do nothing. These guys are right on the tire pressure and front sway bar. At ten PSI the tire is probably cupped on launch. I would suggest putting air bags in the rear coils. Competition Engineering rear shocks and an air bag in the passenger rear spring would be one level up from that.
