FWIW, I will say that most street tires will not benefit from dropping the pressure to increase traction on the drive wheels. This is because of the way a modern high-performance (non-drag) tire is engineered. If you had a drag radial tire, which has collapsable sidewalls, that would be a different story. Otherwise, you will end up with less than maximum hookup, IMHO.
What seems to work for some folks is inflating the REAR tires to reduce weight transfer to the rear of the car. Try putting the rears up to the highest safe pressure for the tire and see how that works for you...good luck!

IMO there is just no way to get more usable traction with the tiny hard sidewalls and less pressure vs wheel hop. Now I don't have a quaife so wheel hop at the track is rampant if I'm close to the traction threshold. I actually prefer a little wheel spin myself; bit at the track have to rely on the high rpm clutch slip. (my poor clutch!)
