you really only need some Drag radials...that will eliminate most of your wheel hop, I have zero wheel hop with M/T drag radials and I changed the IRS diff bushings...that and lots of practice....
you need to launch off idle with these cars...any amount of RPM and your toast...
not bad for you first time..keep it at and it will get better.

even with bushings done and drag radials I still launch of idle and can cut a 1.70 60ft
If I launch off any RPM now my new problem isnt the wheel hop..the clutch cant handle it and slips.
