Default Built Tranny and 3600 stall in.....traction is now a problem

As the title states, my tires are Goodyear Eagle GTII , do you guys think going to a better tire, like Proxes will make that big of a difference? I can seriously punch it at 30 at kick it sideways, even with the tru trac.
I NEED TRACTION

i'm sure Proxes or something would help with the traction some, but the difference probably won't be much. like if you had proxes you could probably still light up the tires at ~20mph.

I have got cal-tracs and still have traction issues on street tires. Sreet rubber has it's limitations.

You read my mind 03'. Finding anything sticky in 20's is difficult.
