upgrade your suspension, disconnect your front sway bar, get a stickier tire, adjust tire pressure to get a nice smooth launch, oh and dont launch on the street. try launching at a track, their surfaces are much different

time for suspension upgrades. look into subframes as well, they will stiffen the body helping with weight transfer
