Also, I realize you cannot get "tuned for wheel hop", but, I just did and 1/4 time actually decreased by .3 because I'm not sitting there spinning my tires and hopping like a bunny rabbit.

when you install those stage 1 or 2 mounts, YOU HAVE to loosen the 3 bolts that connect the side passenger engine mount. Then the engine/trans will move some. then retighten. I think they tighten to 45ft/lbs.

Ok sir.

If he didn't reduce 1st gear power(reducing tire spin) thus "eliminating" wheel hop because you have less power now, what did he do Einstein? eh?

Go pahk yah cah at Habbad Yahd till you get me an answer.

Hey man .... I posted your advice you gave me a month or so ago about the 3 bolts on page 2. Everyone in this thread over looked it. It helped me, and it will def. help the OP.

Just loosen the tranny mount and rock the motor a bit to let it adjust. That should be fine.

Do the CABs help noticeably with other driving performance? I've been considering them but not sure what to expect on normal driving / road coursing.

You'll notice ottp cabs right away in the handling dept. They make your car feel super tight..it's been one of the best suspension upgrades I have done.
