If you're into drag racing, you should install a pinion snubber to help eliminate wheel hop.

Snubber is just like a bump stop. I'm gonna get one and try and weld a bracket it so its adjustable.

It's just a rubber bumpstop that you mount on the body above the diff. Here's where I read about it.

awesome, that's a good idea. i'm guessing i have to drop my subframe, again, to install this $0.50 item. too much trouble, i'll do it if i break another mount...



for now, i'll just work on slipping the clutch at the track instead of dumping it.

um depending on how you secure it in there you may be able to just sneak it in. dropping the subframe is not a lot of fun
