If you want greater straight line traction the first place I would be looking is to fix you massive negative rear camber...
/ \ is never going to get great straight line pickup, esp when the car is going to squat more under heavy acceleration...
Also there is a point of note here regarding tyre sizes, what you want is the greatest area and the greatest coefficient of friction between the tyre and the road....If you goto a much wider tyre you may get more surface area on the road, but the pressure per tyre area is now less (due to pressure = force/area; the force is the mass of the car times gravity, both of which don't change in this equation due to the fitting of wider tyres...so we can see the pressure is going to become less...).
How does this lower pressure between the wider tyres and the road change/effect the tyre/road coefficient of friction? I have no idea  But it's something to thing about...(I'll also make a note here about rally cars, they run on a very low grip surface but run quite/very thin tyres 185/195's on 15" rims....something tells me we can learn from this...)
Cheers
