Default wheel-hop solutions for road racing/drag double duty

If you road race/auto-x and drag race your car, what is the best solution for wheel-hop? I am considering motor mount inserts or radius arms (connect to LCA's). Mainly I was wondering what effect the radius arms will have on handling.

I hear from Jeff652 that the radius arms help with car control.

IM him, he is a satisfied road racer that uses it.

Not knowing what car your driving.......
Lower tire pressures for drag racing, 22-24 on street tires.
This helps the most for being free.
The motor mount inserts helped a little, but I am running drag slicks at 14 psi.
Never missed a shift with just the rear insert. If you put all the motor mount inserts in, your dentist will love you.
