Default Wheel Hopping?

How bad is this to the tranny? And for those who have bfg's . Do you get much wheel hop when launching on the streets or the track? Any info or suggestions would be appreciated. I plan on investing into a Quaife..but no money at the moment. Thanks guys.

Inserting aftermarket motor mounts I heard reduces wheel hop dramatically. When the car is at idle..how bad is the vibration? and does it get worse as u get on it or just at idle? Thanks

I work at a tranny shop and I can tell you for a FACT it VERY hard on the tranny.The reason is because it completely unloads tension on all the components in the trans.,then it comes back in contact with the road and loads everything up again.Depending on how much power your making I've seen it bust input shaft and cluster shafts alot.
