All of this but in general, sounds like you went too aggressive on the rear gear. For reference my car is putting down higher 700s to the tire, weighs about 4k lbs, 3.73 rear gear with a 27" tall drag oriented tire on a 15" rim. Suspension, driving, style and all that aside, I have trouble putting the power down at the track. On the street with 305/30/19 (Toyo R888), from 2nd gear its dicey but 3rd and up is fine. However in those gears, I'm well into "go directly to jail" land.
