You're definitely going fast enough. From what I've seen you'll actually MPH a little higher with wheel spin than when you hook up. I think it's because the spinning wheels act like a loose torque converter and allow the engine to stay in a higher RPM band until the car really gets moving.
I bet some simple changes will allow you to hook better. I was getting high 1.6x to low 1.7x 60' times on street tires and running high 12.60s to low 12.70s @ 106-107 MPH with all poly bushed stock suspension and Koni shocks.
For a burnout I smoked them as hard as I could. More heat helped. Dunno if it would be the same with DRs.
