But back to the topic of wheel hop...
How's the surface at where you're dragging? I'm no drag pro by any means but that would affect wheel hop, right? What tire pressures are you running? what rpm are you launching at? What size/model tires do you have? Do you have the rear stripped?

And seconded on the solid bushings. Just don't put any of the shims in if you go with something like SPL. That will decrease your squat.
Sorry boss but thats not true, Look at any of the big HP drag cars on IRS Mustangs, Vetts' Vipers they have little to no squat. 240's,Supras,RX7's have a lot of squat but its at a lost. the energy lost from squating shouls be transfering to the wheels not lost in suspenion.bosy movement.

OP lower your tire PSI to 15-20 and dont launch it so high, drop your revs down and slip the clutch. the high PSI in the tires and high launch is causing a majority of the hop issue . check your bushings too as they could be worn.
