Up the launch rpm?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this.

I have 3.23 gears with a 2k stall. I have to launch at 1700-2k. If I go any sooner it falls on its face. But I wheel spin at 1500ish. I know I need tires. Rear disc brakes. I can feel the suspension start to load up but it just won't hold.
