From what I've read so far, it seems that a new set of slicks maybe the ticket. I'm going to hate pitching these slicks, even though they look good to me.
What about,...I also run tubes in the slicks. Maybe dropping the tire pressure way down (for me), to about 9 or 10 psi? Do you all think maybe this might work?

Sounds like it's time to step up to a shock with stiffer rebound valving. You were full tight and now you're hitting the tire even harder. A good slow motion close-up at launch will lead you to what is needed.

iagree Same thoughts here. New tires, better shocks. Once you make it work, I would think the 60 ft will be better than ever with the heavier flywheel.
