Default Having bad launch!!

I am running an em1 with h/i/e crank pulley and stage 2 clutch and flywheel and i am running 15.9 at 87mph. my 60' is around 2.5 to 2.6. I spin tires every time and have wheel hop. I need to fix this and any idea what i should be running?

The only traction control i have would be the stock strut bar and i have skunk 2 coilovers and tokico shocks. I have a camber kit so i have little or no heel or toe. i am running my stock wheels with reg street tires, but ive got some fidanzas at home im just waiting on the 16' wheels to go with

He just needs to learn how to launch. Don't dump the clutch, instead feather the clutch and throttle to get a smooth launch. Dumping the clutch on street tires will only blow the tires loose or induce wheelhop.

I was cutting 2.3's on REAL SHITTY tires. Just lower your rpm and slip the clutch out.
