I thought I was the only fool with a 5.13 rear.
I don't know about the Kuhmos but Hoosiers sure make a difference.
I can't break away the rear tires as hard as I try. But then, I'm running 
205x50x15. 
A little less grip. A little more height. Great starts Though!

Jerry,
How do you like the 4.62 gearing? I am contemplating putting my 4.62
LSD in my  2000.  I've got a 5.13 locker in it now and all first gear is
good for is burning my 225x50x14 R1s. :-) Fun but not fast. You  other
autox pilots out there, what size wheels/ tires do you run? Is there a
big difference in traction between an R1 and say, Kuhmos or Hoosier
slicks? What do you run Dennis?, Mr. Miller?
David (searching for traction) Pina.
