I'm not a drag racer, so I can't help you with the mechanical stuff but I can tell you that the key to fast starts with a street car is to get the car in motion then build speed. Forget the smoke, just get the car rolling before you punch it and then shift as close to the peak of the power curve as possible.
As for tires, the bigger the contact patch the more traction you'll have. You can't do better than slicks, which are all contact patch. If you need tires that can do double duty, look for a tread pattern that optimizes the contact patch while retaining the ability to channel water.
