Maybe I'm lucky but I've never had it. Shocks aren't blown are they? Tire pressure?

00'BlackZ28

Have tire pressure set at 22psi im running nitto 555rs. and well there the stock shocks lol. Is the last thing that i havnt touched besides springs.

Play with the hole settings of the lower control arm relocation brackets. Also, shocks can play a factor in that issue. If you're drag racing you'll see a decent improvement on launch with aftermarket shocks. Especially if you go with an adjustable shock.

Ride height sometimes makes a difference in wheel hop as well. You're set up to lower your car if you have adjustable panhard bar, and torque arm... Try lowering and replace your shocks, get your Pinion Angle set up correctly and rear end centered back up and I bet you'll be much happier.

The radial tires are extremely sensitive to chassis adjustments, and shocks are the first thing to make it work right. A lowered ride height is not necessarily going to help you as it will reduce the weight transfer you need to make the car plant the tires.

Before we go throwing more money at it, lets look at how we can make it work with what you have. While yes shocks will help, you still should not be seeing wheel hop with what you have. So, lets start with a few questions so I can better recommend where to look.
What position are the lower control arms in on the relocation brackets?
Do you have a relocation crossmember for the torque arm?
When you launch, what rpm are you at, and how are you letting the clutch out?

00'BlackZ28

LCA are in the bottom hole. and yeah i do have relocation cross member. i launch about 3500. and letting the clutch fully out right away

00'BlackZ28

By looking at my car. it was lowered at one point. so that's prob kill me to.

What hole location is the torque arm in on the crossmember? Also, what size tires?

00'BlackZ28

275-40-17 and 2nd hole down from the top.

I had wheel hop in my 96 Z28, I replaced the rubber bushing with urethane bushings in the stock lower arms and never had the problem again.

Bring the front of the torque arm down to about the 2nd-3rd hole from the bottom. Your instant center is way off with it up that high, and is causing the the axle to unload during acceleration. Before doing anything else, bring that torque arm down, then re-adjust your pinion angle accordingly. See how much that helps. I bet that will help considerably
