Burning Through Second

Burning Through Second
I have a 1991 hatch (check sig). I have about only175 hp. when i'm doing a full out run from stop, my tires slip a fair bit in first. once i shift to second at about 7900rpms, and shift to second still going full out, my tires slip a lot through second.
Would getting a lightened flywheel help this by reducinginertia as i hit second? oris there some other alternative.
BTW i have brand new tires andstock ride height.

RE: Burning Through Second
You mean inertia?...
I don't know, but you don't need to go full throttle under a certain speed. Instead of going 100% (or 90%)throttle,learn how far to push the gas pedal so the tires don't spin. Once you get over a certain speed, the tires won't spin. Your best bet is to learn the limits of your car. Sure, civics arn't traction monsters; but you can give it a certain amount of gas so the wheels won't spin.
Or... you could swap in an AWD system from the realtime4wd civic wagon... haha
It's been done.
