Comes down to the driver mate, just take ur time and try to get ur car to get of the line properly. Learn we're the right rpm to leave at us without it wheel spinning or bogging down.
Practice makes perfect. Just take ur time and enjoy it.

We set up an eboost2 with 3 step boost control stalling to 2000, managed a 12.1 1/4 pass on 225 nankangs.
then we put 24.5" slicks/front runners and took the full bodied calais back in to the low 11's on 18psi with a tuned stock ecu & Z32 MAF, stalling up to around 2800 on the 3000 convertor in the trimatic, dropped 60ft from 2.3 down to 1.6 on a .1/.2 reaction time. need 550cc injectors to spin the engine to 6000, or 850-1000cc to go the next step on PULP.
the trick is big soft side walls, good boost control, if running street tyres, else go nuts with a set of slicks and a tailshaft loop. with a stronger launch a surge tank (and a bosch 044) is a must, along with some billet axles!!

yeah what the other guys said, keep at it and you'll get it sorted.
pair of et's will definately be a huge improvement
