    LT's, 3400 stall, FIPK,CB
    2002 Z28

    Best way to stop minor wheel hop?

    I have a 02 Z28, 3:42's a 3400/2.1 str stall and run 16 inch nitto 555R's at the track. I still have a stock 10 bolt(with gears added). I did put LCA's on and Bilstien shocks. Question is: I do a lot of ET races(200+) in past 2 years, Stall is recent addition and LT headers and now I get traction isssues. Not bad issues but tries catch and let loose and catch again, not really what I would considerbad wheel hop, but really makes me lay off the car when it does this since I can't afford a moser right now. I can run 1.70's on a well prep'd track but it is with a easy lauch and I know I could run 1.6's if I could launch good...I have only had maybe 10 times I launched without problems in the past 60 times at the track and ran 1.7's 60 foot and a 12.69 best and wasn't best conditions. I've thought about TQ arm or relocation brackets..but my car is stock height. Am I asking too much since I want to keep the 10 bolt as long as possible and also, if I do add anything for better traction, would it make my 10 bolt granade easier? Any suggestions are appreciated and I know I need a moser, but money is tight. Car is putting out about 345 rwhp and 352TQ...withing a HP or 2...sheet isn't here and car is about 4000 lbs with me in it. People always say, how could it weigh 4000 lbs...me 300 lbs, stb, lca's, sfcs, a little over 90lbs combined, ground effects, billet grill etc...all adds up.

    add some relocation brackets. this will aide the trailing arms is limiting the amount of wheel hop.
    Cold Air Intake, Muffler Delete, Vinci High Performance Dual Valve Springs, Hardened Pushrods, Yella Terra 1.85 Rockers, Some Hydropdipped Stuff, Strut Tower Brace, Some SS Badges, boost/vacuum gauge, fuel pressure gauge, some checkered stripes, drilled/slotted rotors, ZL1addons Stealth wickerbill, Ruxifey LED side markers

    I had really bad wheel hop and I got LCA's and panhard bar from the WS6 Store for $170 i think. That combined with a poly transmission mount made it go away completely.

    .....or a torque arm. An adjustable torque arm will help you out one way or the other. It's nice being able to adjust your pinion angle for the track.
