Why are you spinning your tires?
I hope you're doing this as the drag strip and not on public roads...

bad rear shocks - most likely if you got original ones
bad bushings
too high RPM launch
crappy tires
too much pressure in rear tires

Decoding the stunna talk has given me a headache; please try and type more coherently.

If the above do not fix the wheelhop problem, get an allignment.

its a curse of the car.... burnout's are hard 2 do in them. weel hop EASY. in my experiences anyway. but if u r launching to high then u will get BAD wheel hop. tone down your launch a couple hundred grand and u will light up those tires lol

I find the opposite to be true. If I launch at 6000RPM, I can just roast the tires. A little lower RPM and they hop. Its mainly due to **** tires.
