Besides that, you might do better with partial throttle to get your rear tires to hook up quickly then give it the beans.

Also, shifting technique plays a big part too. Gently push the shifter towards the next gear (not hard enough that it goes to neutral) then kick the clutch to get the shifter to move to the next gear. This is a very quick shifting technique. You can also try powershifting which is the same technique except that you keep your right foot flat on the gas while you shift. Note it is extremely hard on your car and you might break something but it's the fastest way to shift.

Finally, better tires are a good idea. I know PSS has good lateral grip but no idea about traction. They're a fairly hard compound so I doubt it's great. Something like RE71r will probably hook up better but I honestly know next to nothing about drag tires.
Any new Track updates????
