That's called power, Bubba

Upgrade the suspension. Better shocks, struts, springs. Keep the wheels on the ground.

Acutally it is called IRS. It is a curse when it comes to launching. The make new bushings, springs, and shocks help a lot but IRS usually get swapped to a solid axle for a stricly drag car.

He's right about the solid axle. You could also invest in some UCA's, & LCA's to eliminate wheel hop.

LCA's & radials will be a cheaper & easier fix for wheel hop.
