your mounts are probably worn out. bad suspension also causes wheel hop

When i had my first modified car it was FWD and it just takes a lot of time to get used to your start off. Another thing you should keep in mind is to not just dump the clutch right away. You want to "feather" it til you get up to 10miles an hour and then you can completely release. This should help for your problem and it will also help w/ not just spinning your tires in 1st gear.
