Got the power, now to get it to the ground...

Hello readers, I have "finished" my build and I ended up making 656/558 to the wheels.
Now my next step/issue is, I can't get this power to the ground, I get wheelspin in all four but mostly the front 2 wheels. I have stock suspensions, 265 Nitto NT05s on all fours as of now. Looking for ideas how to get the power to stick to the ground, I would consider slicks on all 4s but how durable are the stock axles? My trans is built and diff built as well. HAALLLPP

I have new 295/30x18 Goodyear road racing slicks for sale here. I promise, that will do the trick.

Is this just off the line, or whenever you mash it? From high HP cars I've had, it was always rolling on the throttle then nailing it. I guess if you're launching it that's a no-go, but I'm not sure what your application is.

Well launching is the majority of it, but getting on it in 1st or 2nd will break lose as well but my main concern is launching cause that will in hence solve the other issues as well

Seems like stickier tires would be one of the only solutions, while running a wider tire as well.

Crazy problem to have lol, sorry I can't be of much more assistance. What suggestions if any did the shop that made this monster for you have? That is ludicrous amounts of power I can only imagine what that thing feels like when you punch it / launch it.

Do you have any pictures of the car / engine bay and a mod list?
