the removed load leaf is your big problem right there. that thread Yogi linked is a good thread. som really good information in it as well

build your own traction bars and give in a buy a set of Caltrac's

I have some lakewood traction bars and don't have any problems with wheel hop, and it launches a lot better withoput spinning. There relativly cheap... I think mine were $150 bucks.

Just another option.
