^^which means "engine torque damper" like the ingalls stiffy or weapon R damper.

I had one - noisy as sin...but it helped a lot. took it out because the noise killed me.

you could also use a front strut bar or hell, even new tires will help. Wheel hop is just the wheels spinning under the car, and the centrifugal expansion of the tire pushes the engine up and down, creating hopping. Solution is to either increase grip, or make it harder for the engine to move. Torque damper is the cheapest, most effective option at around $150....but tires don't make all kinds of retarded noise.

A Quaife LSD will work as well but $$$. I think Speedsource also makes engine mounts which will help a bit.

TRD took over the Quaife LSD - so it's only available at the dealerships - $1350...which is only $100 more than the new 08 tC navigation head unit! lol
