Yup, our b16's are definately touchy.

First of all, try lowering the tire pressure to about 26 psi or so. Do a quick spin to clear the crud off, but no big burnout stuff.

When you launch, try about 3500-4000 rpm, and slip the clutch out. It'll quickly spin, but when you feel the tires hook, floor it. Don't floor it right off the line or you'll just spin.
