If your car can't stick with DR's and 18psi, it's the track prep. Call it a day...
There seems to be a fine line though with the burn out. It's a catch 22.
Too long of a burn out is overheating the trans. Too little is not getting enough grip at the launch.
It was pretty easy with my 335 because I would pop the clutch when in second gear and burn out for a good 5+ seconds to make sure my tires were nice and sticky. I could run high 1.6 60fts most of the time.

The DCT trans was definitely not made for the drags. lol
