Caltracs & a set of M/T or Hoosier slicks. If still spinning the slicks, either go with a larger slick or use some Track Bite on the slicks. It will help out by softening the rubber even more than they are.
If you still decide on just using your street tires, it can be used on them as well.

Caltracs worked for me. I could not rev to 2k and drop the clutch at the line with out really bad bucking and sideways spinning. I put the caltracs on and did the same, reved to 2k droped the clutch and the motor actually boged, chirped and took off. I don't think the motor felt very strong when it took off, I think it had a hickup! I am running bridgestone 275-45-20,s I have hotchkis 4 inch lowering springs. traction is good.

I don't doubt that he loses traction at 1/2 throttle, my truck does the same and I'm honestly not one to make my truck out to be something it isn't. I'll also add that I do this with 275/45/20's, they actually spin more than the stockers. I can't say that I ever remember getting it sideways at 20 when it was stock though.

What the hell is traction? Isn't that where you only have to feather it to the 100ft mark, then kick it down and race down the track? At least....that's my definition of it.
