Wheel hop or worse???

[painterpatt]

I noticed after I reloaded my tune (Unleashed 93 firm/boost) after I moved to Florida that once in a while under a full launch that I get a hard studder/shudder shifting from 1st to 2nd. Hoping it's a bit of wheel hop? I also installed Airlift springs before I left' still had about 20lbs in them so the rear dosent squat like it used to. I dropped it to 5lbs see if that helps.. Anyone else??

Thats wheel hop, there a number ways to handle. You have your runner add more torque management, summer tires seem lessen and of course suspension mods such as coil overs.

I have had a little wheel hop on 1st to 2nd a few times too.  Stage 4+, Eibach, Stock Michelin AS.

Freaks you out at first lol. thought I blew trans (but kept making passes at track)

LOL  I drove through it!  It only lasted like a second or less.

You should get wheel hop under control, its extremely hard on the drive train.

I believe EBB mentioned success with a softer sidewalled tire like the Continental DWS (at least at the track).

I know First-SHO had installed the traction bars and end links up front. Was there any additional feedback on those parts?

interested in how to eliminate it too. Softer sidewall tire would be nice since I'm about due a new set. I get it through first gear and on the 1-2 shift. I'm afraid to break something so I roll into the gas and /or lift on the throttle before the 1-2 shift.

I think Mr Bambic figured out why it didn't do it much in Ohio but now does it alot in Florida. Da went from 1173ft to 10ft. that also explains why it feels like it's pulling WAY stronger in the cold air.
