Traction bars and slicks help.

Traction bars and maybe even stiffer mount mounts.

I had a bad problem with wheel hp with normal HCP mounts and soft shock settings. I actually pulled them and filled in teh space between the inserts with an extra insert, making them completely solid. I also stiffened my shocks to full stiff. The next time I went i had no wheel hop at all. It just turned into wheel spin. I went from pulling inconsistent low 2.2s - low 2.3s to very consistent high 2.1s and low 2.2s.

You should also try getting rid of those tires. The stiff side wall is known to cause wheel hop. I went through my whole suspension and did'nt get rid of my wheel hop til i got rid of the azenis.
