I think this might be called wheel hop but im not sure. If i try to burn out this is what "my marks" will look like.. __ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ __ _ _ _ _ i hope u know what i mean lol. Its feel horrible in the car and sounds like its going to fall apart or somthing. Part of me was thinking it could be due to crappy front brakes, not being able to lock the front tires up so it results in that, or is it just wheel hop?! what can i do to stop this from happening? thanks

Hve you removed your rear quad shocks? Cuz if you do, it will stop, plus if you put 22" rims on your car, that will help too.






























JK, seriously if your quads are removed, that will cause wheel hop problems. Other than that, just keep practicing.

Yes, that's wheel hop, but you should still be able to burn out. What's your technique?

Yes. So would not having enough power to spin the tires due to rotational mass would too.

im going to agree with lack of power due to the size of your rims. the tires way out there isnt spinning as fast as a smaller diameter tire. or you are doing something wrong, which i would put up as a higher possibility.

Wheel Hop. Lower control arms will fix that.

make sure you have 4 shocks in back.2 for each wheel. If you only have 2 that means your quads are off!! You mite wanna get some upper and lower control arms to replace the stock ones.This will cure it.

that means its probably not an 8.8 rear.maybe it is,youll have to check it out.If it is buy some quad shocks and it should help out alot!! Find out if you have the hook ups for quad shocks and I'll send you mine for the cost of shipping.They only have 30,000 miles on em.reving up and dumping the clutch is the way to do it!!
