my friend has the exact same setup as you and had the same problem. heavier rims and better tires like potenza S0-3s should help

Ever think of dropping the clutch at a lower rpm? And you have to remember, the colder the weather, the harder the tires are, and the less they'll grip...

Try a stiffer spring and shock set-up. I run agx's w/eibach sportlines. With the shocks set soft I spin off the line dumping the clutch @ 4000 rpm. When I set the shocks to the stiffest setting I didn't spin and reduced my 60' time by .3.

I lost a race once just because of traction issues. Burned all the way through second cause I was pumped up to much. Feather it out from a lower rpm.
