I know the recommendation for manual goats is to do a 2nd gear burnout. I know that would get the tires spinning faster which equals more heat. However, are there any other advantages to this? I recently got bad wheel hop in the water box on a 1st gear burnout. I have been told that doing the burn out in 2nd gear would alleviate this problem. I probably was put directly in the water or the tires did not have enough water on them. Has anyone else had this problem and has anyone else had wheel hop during a 2nd gear burnout?

My car is the same way. Even on the street if I try to do a burn out in first it will hop. I can dump it and second and I get even tire spin.

Changing the size of 1 axle will eliminate wheel hop, and I have 1 if you are interested.

Explain?

Interesting, how does that work?

It seems that harmonics in the rear cause wheel hop, by changing 1 axle to a different size eliminates the harmonics and wheel hop. Personally my car was awful, changed 1 axle and wheel hop was gone. G-Force sells a wheel hop eliminate kit which is just an axle that is larger around.

Also changing the rear cradle bushes and diff carrier bush will help to reduce the problems of axle hop. It is a problem with all the IRS rear end Commodores/Monaros (GTO) that Holden produced

I have never had axle hop problems with burnouts in the water box or on the street :hide: with first or second gear burnouts. My car has the same IRS rear end as the GTO. I have a 4 door GTO basically

The Gforce1320 anti-wheel hop axles do indeed work. The 2010 Camaro went with unequal diameter axles from the factory for the same reason. The different weights help to cancel the harmonics that cause wheel hop.

Thanks for the info

YEa for those interested in researching the axle cure for hop. Do a search for the first gen V's. Recently the only thing that cures most of the hop besides a custom rear for us.
