Default This sucks....now I need more power....

I had the 275/55-20 Hankook Ventus RH06's installed yesterday that I had ordered a couple of weeks ago.....these things STICK to the road !!!!, I can't believe how much better they are compared to the POS Goodyear GTII's that I had !!
I can NOT spin these things from a dead stop at all, even stalling the converter and launching at about 2000rpm gets me a slight chirp and plants me hard in the seat....I can brake-stall it and spin 'em but only for about 20 feet (I could spin the Goodyears all the way through second gear !!)

these are the tires:

Nice looking tires... I'll be up for some new sneakers by late spring. I'm not sure what I'm going to do or go with.
