choppy burnouts

I got a 305HO in my car and it definately has power but when i goto do burnouts it seems almost like it has wheel hop but only when the tires spin. 15 in 225 tires and a factory posi unit on her. She has new shocks back there. When you pop the clutch or hit the gas when its in gear it kinda goes squeal , squeal, squeal instead of sqeeeeeeeeal. Its hard to explain but this only really happens when your lighting em up. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Yes what you are experiencing to me sound like wheel hop. There are many ways to help cure it. Do a search....

Get new OEM springs. Or get lowering springs and relocation brackets for the lower control arms. Either path you take will rid you off that wheel hop.
