It's called wheel hop and it can break parts on your car very easily. Get new control arms and that will help, a trans tunnel mounted torque arm will help alot as well.

Better launching technique may also help. The amount of tire spin is not agood indicator of how powerful the car is. A fuel dragster on a good run shows little tire spin.
