Incoming I don’t really want to do burnouts, I am just using that as a gauge if you will, I run 25 psi.

Try 22 psi on the rears and 23-24 psi on the fronts with the FE. 22 psi all the way around for a small block car.
Tires of different compounds have been discussed here, as well as set up. Tire compound is the first variable I'd look at. Don't assume your car is down on power, because someone lights their tires easier than you. Their car may not be set up properly. Anyone could light up a set of BFGs at 35 psi.
If you have good tires, you don't want to do burnouts, you want to stick to the pavement.
