Sounds to me like it maybe running/starving for fuel under high load/launch conditions. Fuel volume may not be high enough on launch. It would then be ok in 2nd or higher gears because the demand would not be as much.

I believe that the 4GC like the WCFB needs to be tipped forward so it does not starve it on launch. Not sure if that is done on yours but just a thought.

Not sure if this is the same on a wide tire car but on my 9" tire if we do not have enough air pressure and the front end is loose we hit the tire so hard when I let the clutch out it kills the wheel speed and bogs the motor bad. We had a few still shots taken of the car and the tire was down to the rim then rolled over itself. My holley combo overcame that pretty fast but my WCFB will die until 2nd gear then run great. Just a thought.
