Only one thing comes to my mind--LSD tranny. That eliminates your wheel hop OR just start slow?

He has an LSD tranny if he has a b18c5...

traction bars and a good suspension setup works wonders.. slicks if your at the track!!

are u talkin about the launch or shifting through gears......when i was at the track i learned to drive a certain way without getting wheel hop, it was just something i got used to doing and if i didnt push the gas or release the clutch the right way wheel hop would happen. I guess if it happens between shifts you can just ease up on the gas between or after u shift.

Instead of pounding the gas after the shift try easing into the gas gently....
