I dont think you should get any wheel hop considering th MS has an LSD. As far as getting the launch right you just got to keep dropping the clutch a different RPM's until you get it right.

Wrong!

Your best bet is not to Drop the Clutch...But rather to feather the clutch..

Also..Get new motor mounts..I don't have an lsd w/ my p5 ..but i tell ya..when i got the motor mount in..the wheel..hop...was reduced significantly...and i transfered more power to the ground!
