Still wheel hopping

I put on my Ingalls engine dampner today, and I am still wheel hoping. I have it set on 14mm though...what mm will make wheel hop stop completely?

Thank you, I know with 14 there is still minor wheel hop with a launch at 2200. I will try 12 and see how I like that.

I have mine set to 10mm still have hop and you always will.... specially if you drop the clutch... even with my mods (tranny mounts, engine mount, ingalls, traction bars) I still get hop... it's a flaw with the suspension geometry...

I have my TD set somewhere between 10-12mm. It gets rid of most wheelhop, but I did hop last night a little on a 1-2 shift.

I put this on a few days ago. I had to increase its legnth a little for intsallation, but it eliminated all my wheel hop. Nothing but tire spin, I am pleased.

We have heard from many customers that even switched from Bwoody mounts to the Turbo Tech Racing, that the TTR mount is much better (less wheel hop, equal vibs, and it looks 200% better).
