Ouch, I just read the wikipedia entry for Chevrolet Corvette and it said a stock C5Z has a record time of 11.7 and Chevy advertised 12.4.
I would definitely do worse than you did though, so you still have me beat at least!

Good for you on getting out there and having fun with your car! 
Practice will help a lot, as will drag radials.
And read/search the performance section of this forum and you will find an enormous amount of help.
Get back out there and good luck.

Try not to just mash the throttle. If you're spinning all through 1st and 2nd, then you need ease up and let it hook. Seems like you were launching at way too high an RPM for the tires. Easy on the launch, let it hook then roll the throttle on. If you're spinning second, lift of the throttle, then shift a little lower, and roll back into the throttle.
335s are already a pretty wide tire. IMHO, i think more work on technique is needed before you throw more tire at it.
