#443, "don't take this the wrong way"

My opinion on the matter is if you're wheel hopping, then you are launching too hard. Take it easy. Improving the launch will do you much more good than going crazy with suspension or motor mounts.

Whenever you launch (let's say you're drag racing) and you spin your tires, you are getting a bad launch. You want to try NOT spinning the tires and will get off the line faster with no wheel hop.

If you are wheel hopping, then you are launching with alot more power than you would need to just spin the tires, so you are REALLY pushing it too hard.

I used to have some wheel hop problems when I first drag raced because I was launching wrong, now I have no problems because I launch much easier and my 60' times are alot better too. I now run consistant 2.2's and my best is 2.239, on stock RS rims and tires with no tire spin at all with that fastest 60' run.
