I never once said the car "had more traction" then it can handle. Wheel hop comes at the THRESHOLD of wheel spin. Meaning you can spin the tires over without a problem. Otherwise you'd never be "on the threshold" going over...
The reason you get wheel hop is you gave too much throttle and your traction is giving out. I suggest you learn what you are trying to argue about first before you put your foot in your mouth and speak (which has been this entire thread so far :rolleyes: )
As for the diff's strength. What has that to do in any way with traction or the need for it. I covered this in my last post. You are mistaking wheel hop for traction! (see above) I stated the stock diff would not like better traction because we know the spider gears (even revised) are weak (see LSD comment) Wheel hop's destructive force can kill it at any point. A stock SE can wheel hop all day long as is therefore as susceptible to it as a turbo charged, super charged, nitroused, 3L SVT. (See above about wheel hop - again)
As for "fearing" diff breakage and "slipping" the clutch because of it. That is NOT why you do it. You do it to stay in your power band, therefore putting as much power down as possible without breaking "Traction!" Then when you hook up (or fully release clutch - which ever comes first) you are already in the meat of your powerband and in full acceleration. The fastest N/A contour made it's time this way! (Also see snip about Pro-racers)
Do you think I log on with other peoples accounts and say the exact same thing and also say I'm right?
About the 11 sec N/A Honda. You "specifically" said you MUST HAVE TQ to get low ET's. I showed you an ideal example of not having any TQ and going quick & fast as hell. The main reason. Traction & weight.
The torque strap is to pre-load the engine so it doesn't bind when you hit the throttle. It aids traction because the engine does not backlash and throw off the suspension & weight transfer. That's why it helps stop wheel hop. So less drivetrain bind & reverse weight transfer means better traction. Also the tires will not transfer the hop back to the driveline as harshly when they cross the threshold of traction. (Which is what I've been trying to help you understand the entire thread :rolleyes: )
More or less spinning is irrelevant since the driveline is in a fixed position. (as fixed as can be with solid mounts & strap!)

Topic That car must have no TORQUE, because he ran a high ET (13.5) and a high trap speed (125mph) It couldn't be because he didn't have any traction now could it? Perfect example - since you obviously can't comprehend typed words!
Bret - I'm tired of argueing with you.
You are an absolute MORON. You will never understand cars, racing, engines or the like & I am truely sorry for you... There I stooped to your level. Now quit whining like baby and make good on your word... :p
If you thinks that's a bit harsh; it's because I've been nearly beating you over the head with information and facts and you still don't get it, but continue to rant anyway...
