new launch kit and I stll have wheel hop
I had petit put on their launch kit on because of really bad wheel hop, but I still have it, just not as bad. Is the kit adjustable? I have new s'03 tires and im launching it at 3k. Does the temp matter, because its still cold here in michigan. Also what is wheel hop from "to much power"?

Just find a happy medium between the two. Try launching higher, then back it off a little at a time.

i only get wheel hop when i dump the cluch at 4k rpm, now i just slip it and launch at 3500 and the car just spins for a sec and takes off. i'm using a centerforce cluch.

Dan,
check your PPF very soon. I've got bad wheel hop problemfor a while. Replaced toe links and trailing arms, it's still there. Last weekend when I had AIM Tuning replaced the diff. mount, it turns out that my PPF is cracked.. pretty bad. So, definitely check your PPF NOW.

Agreed, the PPF can break even with a stock motor/turbine's with good hp bolt ons...even the MazdaSpeed PPF can break with the right Torque.
