I hope you aren't surprised you're having traction issues.

Driving an actual drag slick on the street would suck. I think driving that car at all would suck, tbh.

What rates are your front and rear springs?

Drag radial would definitely be a good start.

Best tire for a 670 WHP honda? A drag radial or slick. You wont get traction until 4th gear with any street tire on the market. Theres your answer.
