Heh.. What can I do to ease up on the wheel hop? In 2nd gear if I go WOT .. boost at 12-14psi the front tires just ****in leap off the ground... happens as soon as I hit 12-14psi.. if I don't go WOT it ain't an issue..
Btw.. this happens at like 40-50mph  I'm using an E153 w/ an MR2 VLSD and I'm on BFG G-force Sport performance summer tires.. (225's) -------------------- 87 4runner DLX 22re, 5spd, 4.30gr, 4" lift, 30" tires, HID w/ Projectors, 6spkr + sub, custom exhaust, 94 celica leather seats, SR5 gauge cluster and clinometer. Future engine swap... possibly a 2jzge.

im willing to bet that the 16s are giving you some extra spin/hop too. look into some 17s if you want an upgrade at some point. i would imagine that 15-16s would spin like crazy on my car.
and like itchy said, you kind of have to feather the gas in those gears to keep good traction. i normally do like 50-75% throttle in 1st, and wot in 2nd. the faster you get the car going before hitting WOT, the more traction youll have. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Well of course the faster I'm going the more traction I'll have. I don't always get hop in 2nd .. it just depends.. I was having fun on the highway tonight.. I dialed the AVC-R in for 1.15Kg/cm^2.. which works out to 16psi.. I was hitting 16-17psi.. Anywho.. I was doing a buck 30 on the highway up a mountain.. *sigh*... AFR's at that boost stayed in the 12's .. never close to 13.. and this is on 93oct. If I run 14 the afr's will stay in the low 11's... I really need to cut my usdm bumper out like the GT4 bumper so I get more floor to my massive FMIC... It was pretty damn funny though.. this new pontiac.. I don't know grand prix or some **** was cruising down the highway doin about 80-85 i'd say.. I just got off of a run and I'm slowing down .. screwing with the avc-r dialing the wastegate duty cycle in to get my target boost.. which was 1.15kgcm2.. stupid avc-r and it's imperial measurements.. anyway.. I get that done.. pontiac boy is bout a mile ahead of me at this point.. and I just put it into third.. wot.. 4th.. wot... 5th wot.. catch up and fly by him.. by this point i'm going up the mountain.. Next thing I thing I should work on is brakes.. cuz they went to **** REAL fast. Highways get so nice around here later on .. they just get empty.. 3 lanes of freedom. -------------------- 87 4runner DLX 22re, 5spd, 4.30gr, 4" lift, 30" tires, HID w/ Projectors, 6spkr + sub, custom exhaust, 94 celica leather seats, SR5 gauge cluster and clinometer.
