Also make sure your tire pressure is good. Too low pressure will kill your traction. Also do you need an alignment?

You have to remember that with the prelude(2.2 or 2.3) you get alot of torque. I have a 92 Si and i launch from 1500. This allows me to hit the gas all the way and have very limited tire spin. Good luck!
