RE: Cant hook up, and advice!
There are several things you can do to improve your traction.
Get a LSD for your rear end (also called positraction or traction lock). You could get an aftermarket one and have gears installed at the same time. The problem with your car is you only have 1 wheel that spins (like my 99 v6). The more power you add, the more traction you need and you're just overwhelming that 1 wheel. I would do these things in this order to improve traction:
1. Limited Slip Differential (LSD)
2. Lower Control Arms (LCAs)
If you get those 2 things and still have traction problems, get some drag radials and call it a day.
With an auto, launching without powerbreaking at all is worse than powerbreaking a little (1200 or so rpm) and spinning more. In your case, you seem to have some severe traction problems. LSD should fix you up. Good luck man.

+1 LDS, LCA, tires
and if your thinking about doing gears it would be cheaper to do gears and LSD at the same time as they'll probobly have the ring out to install the LSD
