Traction problems

I'm having traction problems. I have a Shinko Stealth, about 65.5 in long, 43t rear & 17t front. I weigh about 225 lbs. I launch at about 3500 rpms usually. I've tried to baby it out of the hole and soon as I get on the throttle I lite the tire up. I've got to get this problem fixed asap! I'm the only 14 in a town full of Busas and everybody wants a piece!
