Out of those options the TTR Mount. The ingalls is junk imo.

are your wheels 18" or did you have stock wheels with decent tires?

completely no wheel hop? that sounds amazing for the price if it completely gets rid of all wheel hop.

did you gun your car from a stop and you get none? any other mod's you do to reduce or i only have to buy that and it will be gone?

how hard is the install?

Drag bags and a set of Tranny mounts. Whether they are the rotated or not. The drag bags will do wonders on the track, as your car won't lurch backwards as much on launch, keeping weight over your drivetrain not giving the tires much chance to hop.

for the money the TTR mounts do a great job .... less money the the rotated. The trade off is the vibrations. They don't bother me cuz I'm use to the feel of what a race car feels like. Do ya want a racer or a comfort ride..... EVERY THING HAS A TRADE OFF

ok man the ingalls is ok for the price if u pick it up used especially for the turbo since ur wheel hop isnt as bad as ours but if u have the money get the ottp rotated mounts. It doesnt just hide the problem like the solid mount it fixes it which has to do with an engine/trans alignment problem. contact ls1fbody about the rotated mounts he can really tell u more

right on drag bags, not on mounts. Clearly there are many posters on the forum that dont understand why the engine needs to be rotated. So if you dont understand that, its hard to understand how for example you would understand the function of drag bags, which in your post you are 100% correct, work very well, not for fixing powerhop, but for assisting in good 60 ft times. Or would you rather buy a couple of jr.footballs?

i got the TD first and noticed little to no difference in wheel hop, then i got ZZP poly trans mounts and the wheel hop was GONE..... but cabin vibration was present lol, but the trans mounts make a big difference mostly cuzza theyre location.... right where the engine rocks... front to back

If your staying at stock power and don't mind the extra vibes and hop at the track get the ttr mount. If you are thinking about modifying the car more i would not waste your money on it and invest it into the rotated trans mounts. Like it has been qouted they eliminate the true cause of power hop its not just a bandaid fix.

I got the TTR engine mount 99% of wheelhop w stock tires were eliminated but w Drag radials i still get a little when track is prepped well and i get great traction I also did the tranny mounts prothane i really don't get that much vibration only at start up and at certain rpms but it is minimal i didn't notice vibration as much as the low hum noise I think the rubber insert helps

the only real way to get 0% wheel hop is to sacrifice the way the car handles on the road if u dont care about how the car handles and the way it rides on public roads then find anything u can if u like the way the car rides jus do little stuff like mounts and possibly axels i think i saw a thread on here where someone found a wheel hop kit from GM
