Default What the Hop?

Ok so I spent the winter getting a 9" in my car and along with it I installed some ADJ LCA's (relocation bracket on rear and have adj TA) poly to the car rod end for the rear. I triple checked the wheel base and made sure its was centered and the pinion angle is at 2* but for some reason I have Viscous wheel hop now, I've never had an issue with the car always launched great until now.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I should check or do to fix it?

couple years old but worked fine last year, but that was with the old converter that wouldn't launch for crap. Think it could be that easy?

Man it's really hard to say lol. The new stall could be hitting a lot harder too, which could contribute to this

Yeah I figure it'll be a few testing and tuning things. Just not sure if there was an angle or a measurement I was missing or if someone had a good place to start. Thanks again

Sorry I can't help more. You have the relocation brackets which is good, and the pinion angle sounds good as well.

I'll get the tape measure out one more time and go over everything again. Hopefully I can figure it out

the 2 degrees of pinion angle,is that positive OR negative ? Should be - 2 degrees downward so it goes to close to 0 under acceleration.
