Need advice on drag setup

Took my car to a local 1/8 mile track for some heads up/street style racing, flashlight start with no times or slips. I knew going into this I would have traction issues with the stock GY F1 but man I didn't think it would be as bad as it was.

So I have been on here researching DR and using the factory 20" rear wheels, trying to figure out how much more traction could I gain by going with a 18" wheel and running a bigger sidewall versus the 20" setup. Thoughts and opinions needed, car is making 650+ rwhp.

Thanks!

Do you know what your rear alignment specs are?

Not really, but should be to factory spec. Car has 6k miles.

Start with your alignment and get the tire square to the track surface.

Camber 0.00
Toe IN 0.12 per side.
