Default Overcoming wheel-hop in FWD

Greetings all accorders I gotta serious question. Last night my friends and I went to the track to make some runs. My car before turbocharging ran a 10.3 1/8th time. Trap Speed was around 64 - 62mph. Now after F.I. My trap speed was near 70 - 71 but my time was around 10.7 - 11.0. After some thinking I assume its due to serious wheel hop I experienced getting out of the gate on every single run.

Question.. How on earth do we overcome wheel hop in an auto FWD turbocharged accord? Any suggestions would help

What were your 60' times before and after, and what type of tire are you using?

solid mounts or stiffer mounts will help, preloading and controlling the clutch will help also.

LOL!

however i agree with boostedcivicsir the best bang for your $$$ would be solid mounts then attack your suspension NO idea in hell if you could fit some sort of traction bar in there however personally i have always had good luck with those!
