Tires breaking traction (1st gear boost)

Anyone else experience this? I just put it a new oem clutch last weekend - my mods are in my signature (underneath). My MBC seems to spike 23psi. From a 10mph roll in first gear when I put my foot through it, all 4 corners are breaking traction. It's in the 70's today on Charlotte, NC. I'm running Dunlop Direzza's 255/40-17's on the stock Enkei's (I believe they are slightly overinflated - I did ask for 35 psi in the front and 33 psi in the back). In any case, it's a little disconcerting

Yeah, you could remove some mods or turn down the boost if you want less power.

Dry traction is an 8.4 as compared to the Yoko 9.5 (per Tirerack). But at $79.00 a corner (I got em on special at a Goodyear Gemini) I'll just have to suffer...

Amazing.
