Default wheres my traction?

I have a 5AT and even since i started to add some mods ive been having trouble off the line...with and without the VDC on

i plan on wider tires in the future when i get my rims

what else could remedy this?

(sorry if this is a dumb question)

If you're looking for consistent 2.0 second 60-foot times, practice is your least expensive solution.

No. There is little benefit burning DOT tires. Just chirp the tires to throw off any debris. BTW don't burnout in the waterbox like a newbie.
