Default launch Q turbo sohc

im having traction issues in my lil turbo sohc, setup is described in my sig, but anyway 1st gear vtec just blows the tires off... tires are kumho 711 205/50/15, i know not the best tire to work with, but i use it for auto-x more than anything. should i be engaging vtec lower? i engage the vtec now at 4500rpms, and when it kicks it just throws you back in the seat, but i'd rather have a smoother powerband with a good torque transition than the whiplash effect. my turbo makes full boost by 3500rpms, is this too low to be engaging vtec? i hooked it to a switch and tried running it full-time for bout 30 mins just testing it and it didn't seem to bog, once the turbo spools (bout 2500) it develops power instantly. i'm using a spec stage 3 clutch which has no problem grabbing what i throw at it, i havent had it long but i've never really felt it slip. i usually launch around 2.5-3k with a full-throttle launch controlled by uberdata (allows it to build between 1-2psi with the launch).
