I assume you are talking about when you launch.
Helpful Driving Tips:
- Practice Launching, Find what RPM you can launch at with little wheel spin. Keep Practicing, Its hard to get a Perfect launch, However with practice it will be rewarding.
- Don't launch over the RPM you find, all it will do is make you slower and give wheel spin/hop. This might be enough to let a less Powered Car beat you in a drag Race.
- If you Spin your Wheels after launching, Don't hold your foot in it, back off the gas a little(not all the way) and then re-apply full throttle. You might have to do this all the time in 1st gear no matter what you do.
- Warm up your tires before you take off.
Helpful Car Modifications:
- Get Stickier Tires or Drag Radials to grip better.
- Run Studded tires on your fount wheels. This may be illegal at certain times of the year, However Studded Tires are awesome for Launching.
- Get and Install a Traction Bar. I have never personally used One, However I have heard only good things about Them.

traction bar eliminates ALL wheel hop! at least mine does anyway. It is my favorite mod and I'm boosted, still my favorite. Now I just smoke the tires off the rims :-/

In the snow?
Anyway, the Falkens are the likely culprit here, as I'm assuming that with an H22 swapped he has a stout mount. You've got too much grip for the rest of the setup, so traction bars it is...
The regular all-season Falkens on my H22 have no chance in hell at grip, they just spin.
