Shocks and struts will help a little but they won't give you what your looking for. Practice your launches more and there are a lot of things to take in consideration as well, burnout, age of the tires, temp of the track, RPM of launch....Is this an auto or manual? Are you using a trans brake, is your torque convertor right and what Dark said, be sure your diff is performing as it should. Check all your bushings on the control arms for tears. IMHO, the Nittos are not as soft as the BFG's or M/T's, but because of this, they last longer. A softer compound tire will ensure higher RPM launches are on the menu.
