Why do you need so much grip? You got a GT-R?

I have a civic b series boosted 465 whp. I spin like crazy I tried some soft compound (forgot brand my buddy tires) but did nothing but spin even through third partially fourth. But planning on having over 700 whp by summer. Also have a evolution planning on having around 1000 whp. I understand it will strictly track after that. But trying to grip now as is.

Possibly something with suspension? I don't have top of the line but skunk2 springs shocks and struts traction bars should be enough? Just need better tires? Mean I don't know why I'm asking yall

I am going to put the r888 in use. But I will invest in tires or the 1/4. I want both street/track tires. If tires don't grip for my high HP. Than ill throw em on the lsv boosted 350 whp. But still be stuck on getting these shoes for my soon to be monster
