You can't replace the live rear axle with IRS if that's what you mean. You can get a Torsen differential that's in the Boss 302, it may help. You can also upgrade your suspension i.e. LCA's, sway bars, shocks, struts, etc. Otherwise... troll away

I'd upgrade the diff, clutch packs for the power levels and suspension to put that power down

You need to be more specific. Are you experiencing wheel hop in a straight line or is the problem when cornering?

There is nothing better than a live rear axle for big power. A 03-04 cobra would be breaking half shafts and has worse wheel hop.

Check out a set of lower and upper control arms. I have the UMI poly/roto LCAs with welded in relocation brackets and it eliminated wheel hop. Different power levels, but still...
