Went to the DRAGS tonight! What should I do??!!!

So, tonight October, 8th 2010, just as I said... went to the drags tonight - ATLANTA DRAGWAY! Modifications: My car now has a full 1 7/8" ARH exhaust system, headers to exhaust tips. I also put in a Comp camshaft: 227/239 .614/.624 113lsa+4, and a K&N panel filter in the stock / factory airbox. By the way, lots of guys came by and asked me what my exhaust was... they all seemed to like the ARH sound goin' down the quarter.....(great job ARH! Thank you!!).... and on with the questions. Car ran an awesome Best MPH at Atlanta Dragway - 115.5mph. My best ET was 12.961@114.85mph and 2.25second 60 foot time. So...... here is the problem. Launch at 2500 rpm,Wheel spin like hell.... followed by feather out of the throttle....followed by noisy, scarry, disgusting amount of wheelhop! WTF 2 major launch problems must get under control! I won't change wheels, but I will consider sticky street tires (Nittos?)... but until I get wheelhop under control I won't put sticky tires on it - still runnin' factory Pirellis - parts will just be more likely to break with stickier tires and ridiculous amounts of wheelhop. I reduced radial tire pressure (Pirellis) to 30 psi-cold prior to 1st pass and did not change it again. I JUST looked at Pfadt solid rear bushings online - they sure are proud of them$$$!! What would you do? Car is making 456rwhp and 417rwtq. I had rev limiter set at 7000rpm and ran through the traps at about 6750 in 3rd gear. Atlanta Drags AND Road Atlanta TRACK DAY coming up in November 2011. If the car is properly setup what should it run in the quarter? I'm considering PFADT setup, sticky tires, and 4.10's. Oh yeah... by the way... TONIGHT... stock tires on 2011 Mustang GT with ONLY 4.10's and catback exhaust... 12.66 at 112mph. I watched HER run HER Mustang while my car was cooling down.
