I have around 416 to the wheels. I kept the psi at around 17psi and had bad wheel hop.

I usually run DR's around 22ish... As far as wheel hop, how are you launching? I usualy just ride the ckutch at around 3000 rpms and pull 1.8 60's on DR's and 1.7 on my MT ET Streets..

I usually rev to about 3.5 rpm pop the clutch and hold the rpms till it catches, then ***** to the wall. Maybe that's the problem. Thanks I'll try around 20 psi this friday. It sounds like a happy medium.
