4. launch high in RPM's but slip the clutch tring to keep the RPM's at a constant
good advice... though turning the wheel on burnout I don't think is really THAT big of a deal... next year I'm gonna do a few without turning. The reason I turn the wheel is the get each side of the slick warmed up... Broke one OEM axel this last year and it was on street tires cause I didn't launch hard enough and the tire didn't spin off the line at all... *my bad*

I used to get bad wheel hop, but I purchased the energy suspension motor mount insert kit and it eliminated virtually all of my wheel hop. For a really cheap mod, its working out great...it just sucks cause they will take awhile to put on the car.
