R-Compound tires grip significantly better for straight line acclerating taction?

Sorry about my horrible title grammar. Do R-Compound tires hold straight line accelerating traction significantly better than a high performance summer tire of the same size? I ask this because I am beginning to experience the effects of too much power on straightline acceleration in 2-3 and 3-4 gear with the new vishnu aggressive maps. I currently run Falken FK-452's that are at the wear indicators and want to know if its beneficial to step up to Falken's RT-615K or if I'm wasting money and sacrificing durability. Also if you have any other model tires for increased straight line grip.
