How to avoid too much tire spinning at launch?

Hi guys! Here is the situation. I just installed the sprint booster yesterday, and it works just as great as they advertise. The problem is that now I have too much spinning at the tires as I floor it at launch (of course with traction control off). The tires keep spinning non-stop until I have to loose the gas pedal a little. It's so easy to burn out my tires now. I can even spin it while I'm at 15mph. Is there anyway to limit this? Thanks.

practice doesn't help. I've been trying all day, and it's just way too much spinning. I still have 50-60% of tread left on my tires. Thanks for the advices tho.

Proxes T1-S. 255 front, 275 rear. For the launching part, I just simply floor the gas pedal without revving it to 3000-3500 rpm or anything...

Umm, what do you expect from flooring the gas pedal from a stop? I suggest trying to ease off the gas pedal.

Question to you however, how are you revving your motor to 3000-3500 on an auto without neutral drops or pre-loading the converter to a ridiculous load.

Something is wrong there.

Launch from higher RPMs, the sprint booster might be tricking the ECU more than it should.

Brake in then let go from RPM. It's not that much strain on the converter, this is the way ALL automatics are launched.

I think it would even hurt your 0-60 time if you do this. Trust me. I did that before. It's slightly better when I rev it to 3k in neutral then kick in D.

True, That's why I've only done it twice^^. Not using Tiptronic because D is right next to N, so it's faster
