lsd vs wheel hop...who has it?

Just curious, who all has lsd and who doesn't. And those that have lsd...do you still have problems with wheel hop?

I have LSD, and I hear so much stuff about wheel hop, but I have never felt it. I've raced my car a couple times from a stop, and I went ***** to the wall once, launched at 2 grand pretty hard, no wheel hop. But I did get alot of wheel spin and a little torque steer. Sometimes I gun it pretty hard at about 4k in 2nd, and just a little wheel spin is all. So is wheel hop basically just on non/lsd's? I was thinking about getting the ingalls, but if I'm not getting much wheel hop, is it really going to help?

wheel hop does not discriminate. lol We all have it. You just must be decent at launching.

I rarely get it and I don't have an LSD but if I get to happy with the revs at the launch it's there.

Yeah, we all have wheel hop, I am getting very good at launching my car so there is no or very little wheel hop. Motor/trans mounts or ETD helps out alot....
Road surface also does make a differance I have notice.

what would really help is if the engine was flat and not angled downward at the fire wall.

I only get it in first gear, and it's only on certain roads. Some roads i'll spin so easily, others i'll just get earth rattling wheel hop. I've never gotten wheel hop in 2nd though, at least not yet. I spin second a lot too, like on a daily basis too lol, I don't have lsd so my car does the one wheel peel, it's the passenger side wheel that spins for me
