Well thanks for the reassurance...

I am still going to try and sell the ET Streets mounted for maybe 425 or something like that. I just prefer the was it felt on the ET Street Radials.

Some control arms and subframes will help you out with some wheel hop. By the way...how much rwhp are you putting down? I figure you would run quicker than a 12.8 with some cams. Nice 60 times from what I've seen w/ street tires.

Yes, switch to some ET Radials. I don't think you will be giving anything up in terms of tractions and they feel just like any other regular tire on the top end. I have cut as low as 1.74 on my second trip to the strip using ET Radials.

Maybe I was unclear...

I had just installed LCA's right before the track. Last year when i had stock control arms, it wheel hopped very bad. This time around, there was not any wheel hop to speak of.
