Are you using the MM inserts from www.turboneonstore.com ? Do they help a lot with the wheel hop? Do you have all three mounts filled or just that top one? My friend gets massive wheel hop,, though he's still learning to launch, his tire problem is also fixed, so I should get to drive it soon.

Well with about 100hp more, I sure would hope the contour would trap faster,, but only 7mph.

I got a top mm insert, just because I wanted some measure of compromise between completely rigid and real loose being that it's my daily driver. Definately get at least one insert. If he's getting wheel hop, he's dropping the clutch too high. It should just chirp and be gone. The only way I've found to get a smooth launch is to feather the clutch. I've tried launching from low rpms and it just doesn't catch like it should (IMO) so I launch at around 33-3500 rpms and feather a bit until I'm rolling, then dump it. After he gets stage 1 you'll have to do that in second gear as well or you'll just spin thu it and part of 3rd.
Unless of course your talking on the street, then all bets are off. I don't really do any street launches or racing for that matter so I have no technique to get rolling without spinning, except to just go from idle.

Aight, thanks. I think I might just fill his top motor mount with 3M window weld, as it's something we can easily do. If it doesn't help out a lot, I guess he'll be looking at doing the other mounts. Yeah, he still has to practice a lot on how to launch it. And I drove it today, but I didn't get to drive it like it should be driven. It was my second time ever driving a stick (and first time lasted about 2 minutes) so I'm still sorta sucky at driving a stick. I can shift fine just gotta get the taking off part down. Hopefully I can find another car to practice on, then I'll be able to really drive the srt.

I trapped 104mph on 5psi in which netted me 230whp/214wtq. Those power numbers are similiar to that of an SRT-4 only with the hp/tq reversed. That was a 13.8 run FYI.
