If you want more rear grip, the issues you are seeing may not only be tire choice. But, tire choice is still important.
If you want more grip from a dig things to do: 1: Evaluate your suspension. Most aftermarket coilovers are a terrible option if you want to drag race. They are too stiff and don't allow weight transfer. 2: Tires - Today's 200tw tires are sticky, but have stiff sidewall, which isn't good for getting out of a dig. 3: Wheels - The larger the wheel, the less sidewall. Less sidewall = less ability for the tire to take some of the shock and "wrinkle" which will put more load back to your axles/diff |

IMO, with that much power and a light chassis, you need something in the 200TW category. Hell, for launching at autocross, my 200TW A052's spin tire with stock power levels - couldn't imagine what a 400whp motor would do.
