You'll want adjustable dampers. Thats the fastest way to eliminate wheel hop, depends on the wheel weight whether you lower or raise damping. If its slow wheel hop sometimes you can lower damping enough to make it go away, or if its fast then you can raise damping to make it go away. Takes experimentation. Beyond that drag tires and playing with spring rates. Drag racing isnt really my thing though, I like to turn while going fast.

I used to drag race, but then found out turning was more fun.

What are your 60 foots like?



Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

rev higher, learn to use ur clutch better. 2k is too low to be launching, dont just dump ur clutch cuz yes all you will get is wheel spin. launch around 4k to reduce bog, give or take some rpm, and slip ur clutch, dont just dump it.

Practice, should be able to cut a 2.1-2.2 on street tires.
