You need to adjust rebound then. The shock setup at full stiff will make it harder for the car to squat. You want to slow down the rebound of the shock so you keep the weight transfer to the rear as long as possible. This will give you better traction than a full stiff car that can't transfer the weight to the rear.

I'm not saying your setup doesn't work, I'm just saying it could be better. Check out import drag solutions cars and watch a few of their videos. These shocks are typically very low lbs/in springs and have a slow rebound to aid in getting the most traction/best 60ft possible.
