Its called wheel hop, it happens when you lose traction, stiffer engien mounts would help.

A under engine brace would help out aswell.

Motor mount inserts from Energy Suspension work as a great start.

Check this out: energysuspension.com | Search Result Details

There are also upper "shock absorbing" mounts that can be added or very easily fabricated to work on your car as well.

They really help with the froward and rearward motion of the motor upon hard launching.

During my RallyX event last Sunday I did a hard lauch in First and then into second. I had insane wheel hop in second. I will definetley add the upper mount soon.
