Differential upgrade?

Is there a way to change my power ratio more to the rear so my front wheels don't spin on launch?

No offence, but you are barking very far up the wrong tree as to a solution to that problem. Let's say you could change the power balance, it's not the most efficient way of fixing the issue. Tires(get something sticker, a DOT slick w/e), then suspension, then...messing with the magic of the diff.

You could try changing the suspension setup to see what helps. Stiffer suspension for less weight transfer or softer for more. Maybe try adjusting suspension height to see what helps. But tire quality and compound will have a big effect on traction at the strip (or street).

What tires are you running now? Are your traction problems Street or strip?
