Default traction problems @ track

I'm running a ST 3500, 26x10.5x15 ET Streets, RR air bag @ 15psi, lakewood LCA's, relocation brackets with LCA's one hole down from diff., front swaybar removed. 16psi in the slicks seems to be the only pressure that works OK. but most of the time it spins the first 60'. I've been battling this all year and can't seem to beat it. Is it the track prep? Or is it just that the converter hits the tires too hard and I should run larger tires?? maybe I should run real slicks.
Any help would be great. Thanks

I did some searching and it seems i'm doing most things correctly, except I have stock shocks and I understand that Hals would be a help.
Maybe it's just the track prep.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
