In that video you were on throttle when the track lifts, a very easy part to have your back come out. Yes, tires make a difference, but power isn't everything. Coils > Supercharger IMO. Just because you have twice the power doesn't mean you should keep up!
Well driver skill makes the biggest difference. You can swap suspension and not be any faster if you don't know how to make use of it. But all things being equal, a proper suspension/tire setup makes all the difference. Fast through corners means you are already going fast through the straights. That's why some of those really high HP cars driven by beginners are completely dumbfounded why there's always a miata on their tail.
