I've not had any problems with it... Then again, I have the AOD tranny.

Done some smooth as silk burnouts, no wheel hop. Inflate your tires a little more.

I only experience wheel hop during burnouts when I encounter small dogs and rabbits during the event!

I have been getting some wheel hop at the track. When I rev to about 2500 RPM and dump the clutch I get some hop. People in the crowd have told me that they can see it. I'm going to mess with my air pressure to see if I can correct it. Anyone else have any ideas.

Here's a suggestion, when you go to do your burnout, cut the wheel a tad as you stomp the pedal, the car will float the *** end out sideways so you have to correct (think sprint car) and I didn't notice the wheel hop of the straight burnout plus it's more fun! CROSS EM UP!!!!!!!

Hah Dave... I wouldn't give that advice to everyone. You may be responsible for a lot of horses being put out to pasture.[8D]
