New 0-60 time with g-timer after procats

Before I got the procats I used my g-timer a lot and my times varied from 5.75-6.10 all the time depending on how the traction is and the street. I got the procats over a week ago and they are awesome. This morning I ran it three times and first I got 5.62, I spun off the line a little and I still pushed the gas really slowly. Second 5.60 same as the first spun a little too. Both 60' were 2.25, if I can get traction I would of got better. Third 5.78 and I spun all the way till the trannie hit second. Im lookin for advise here so I can get traction off the line. I have the A-Spec kit all around with michelin pilots A/S and a-spec suspension. Is there a better tire out there that will help me with traction or am I going to have to change the suspension so I transfer more weight to the front. I need some help here please. I wanted more power and I got it now, now I am dealing with traction conditions now. I know this car is capable of 2.1s in the 60' but I need traction. The michelin A/S are awesome for the rain, but I want traction on the dry road.

if you compare your tq curve you can see your low rpm tq numbers are probably higher then ur max before the pro-cat. so...0-60 traction?....summer tires at a summer time maybe? i think more power on TL is for ez driving and faster "highway" reaccel./speed. this is a FWD after all.

just curious how you are launching..

are you using the brake and gas together?
just the gas pedal alone?
Shift from N to D?
Manual Mode?

Im launching by left foot on the brake and right foot on the pedal. I let go of the brake and press the pedal down at the same time.

maybe some sort of reversed staggared set up might work.....19's in the front....18's in the back....and a heavy wheel at that....give u a little more momentum aswell

Yeah, but that additional momentum starts off as additional inertia.
