Default When will traction be a problem???

Hey guys, I'm currently running some decent 60' with a best of 1.88sec. So far I haven't had any traction problems if I do a good burnout before hand. I'm running 285/17 Nitto 555's(no R) with a 1500 stall, and 2.59's. All I do is slam the gas and go.

I'm upping the rear end to a 3.45 this winter and I'm also planning on upping the stall to 2500. My question is what will I have to do to keep traction with this new setup. I have a feeling it's going to be a whole new car and I'm not going to know what to do about it.
