Best legal DOT street tire for dry traction is going to be the MT ET Street R. Setting up rear suspension geometry is key also. You will have to play with the suspension a bit to get it dialed in for your particular car. I have been through multiple spring/shock combos, sway bar changes and deletes, and played with my anti-squat numbers to dial my car in. But the best way of maintaining traction is through your right foot. I'm able to spin up through third by just mashing the pedal, but I have learned in my car a more gradual application of the pedal produces better results. I mash the pedal till about 3/4 and then modulate the last bit of throttle as I feel it can handle. It probably takes about 1/2 to almost a full second before I'm on the floor. But you have a different power curve than me. In my turbo vert I tend to mash the pedal and then as the rpms climb I ready myself to pedal or lift a bit as I get into the power and then get it back on the floor. Either way your never going to completely harness the power without some throttle control.
Now if we are talking track only we can have a whole other discussion.
