i mean there are a bunch of like cobra's and a lightning, a boss 302 (slow), and even hopped up 289 mustangs, like 64's with slicks and everything.... no one can do anything. the only thing remotely close is a turbo civic crx that "supposedly" runs high 4's in the 8th lol. but i haven't seen that guy to even try him yet. gosh...only the cop cars can get close (new dodge chargers), and even those get shut away. (shh.. lol) there is a corvette supossedly running right about where i am, but he won't race (scared I guess..that whole girl in a taurus whooping is embarrassing lol....) but i think that would be a good one. There is one Cobra trying to get me to come down and race for ***** and giggles..prolly take him up since they just race for props.... but damn, there is nothing around here.... alright Paul, let's move to texas.

hahahha that would be a fun race. I'll then set you up with my bro-in-law's Honda F4i bike to run. I had a car-length jump on him at the top of second gear. If my axle hadn't broke it would have been ugly. :thumb:

I'd rather change the CV shaft than nuke 3rd gear in the trans.

I'd also rather have the outer portion of the axle break than the splines that enter the differential... I've had that happen and it's not fun to have to pull the opposite axle out to pound out the broken one from the other side.

bringing this back to life, I wanted to know how much wheel hop ur getting?

far as I know Honda guys are putting over 500 hp on stock axles, they are the same axle's since I have personally changed the inner shaft on mine, so taking a wild guess that wheel hop play's some factor in snapping axle's.

I currently do get a good deal of wheel hop even with solid engine mounts, my guess I need stiffer front and rear springs because the car lifts from the front atleast 3-4" during standing takeoff's. I welcome any idea's on curing wheel hop.

I've actually have never had "wheel hop", however spinning and catching traction has obliterated two of my axles.

Wheel hop is typically related to tires more than suspension. A sloppy suspension will make it worse, but the root cause is tires slipping, grabbing, slipping, grabbing.

Find a set of sticky tires, and find a way to help plant the front end (stiff rear springs, and you should be set.

I run stock axles on my honda, i have snapped one so far, broke it right off in the diff. I never get wheel hop, typically wheel hop happens when wheel spin is slow, in other words if you spin the tires only slightly the fact they are biting almost enough to not spin makes them hop, of course the more worn out the front end the more pronounced this is, a car that bogs off the line is a good candidate for wheel hop. i have traction bars on my honda and they help keep it all sturdy but i spin the slicks so much any way that im already doing over 70MPH before they hook. if you want to avoid wheel hop then you need to spin more or dont spin at all.
