I just want to know cuz I don't have a ton of cash, but i'm getting wheel hop and it's sucking. Should I get a torque arm, lca's, panhard rod, sway bar, or bushings? I'll be putting in Lsd and 255-50-ZR16 tires on in the next few weeks. Thanks for the help

First get a TA poly bushing. Very cheap and stops some of the slack you have in the TA. TA itself you don't need unless you're running 11s. Just get the bushing for now and see if it helps. LCAs help alot. That would be my next step if bushing doesn't work. With those 2 mods you should be good. -
LCAs help a lot and arent too expensive.
you are getting wheel hop with an open rearend now?\'01 TA with boltons, cam <b>11.28@119.72 (1.49)</b><br />\'97 Tahoe LT 4x4- stockComment

the torque arm i'm looking at is the trac-link setup. BTW, I'm just looking for 1 mod that wil get me the most traction for my buck.2001 Arctic White Firebird<br />T-Tops, 3.42 rear gear stock<br />Mods:K&N Air Filter,Whisper Air Induction Lid, maf screen removed, raised air box, Kumho Ecsta 712 255-50-ZR16 tires, BMR stb<br />Mods not installed yet: FTRA, SLP Lsd/Differential cover<br />Near Future Mods: HPP3, GMMG 3\" Exhaust , 1LE Swaybars, Transgo Shift Kit, MSD-DIS-4 w/ Accel Coil-Packs, Turquoise Blue Neon Underbody Kit, BMR Adj.

I hate wheelhop! just put the kumho's on today. great traction, in fact too much, even though I haven't installed lsd yet. after they warmed up a bit, i floored it against a GTP w/ exhaust and intake and I got wheelhop off the line. Pissed me off. so I should get LCA's first, or a torque arm, or a panhard rod?2001 Arctic White Firebird<br />T-Tops, 3.42 rear gear stock<br />Mods:K&N Air Filter,Whisper Air Induction Lid, maf screen removed, raised air box, Kumho Ecsta 712 255-50-ZR16 tires, BMR stb<br />Mods not installed yet: FTRA, SLP Lsd/Differential cover<br />Near Future Mods: HPP3, GMMG 3\" Exhaust , 1LE Swaybars, Transgo Shift Kit, MSD-DIS-4 w/ Accel Coil-Packs, Turquoise Blue Neon Underbody Kit, BMR Adj.

Torque arm is not needed yet.

After I installed my BMR LCAs and brackets, I didn't get anymore wheelhop. I'll hold off on the panhard rod unless your rearend is wayyy off centered due to lowering.<b>99 Camaro Z28 A4</b><br />R.I.P. 00 Firebird 3.8<br />14.89 @ 90, 2.03 60\'Comment

LCAs are like 100 bucks. TA is like 300+. The LCA will make a noticeable improvement. I run 315 nittos and BMR LCAs and have NO wheel hop when going straight. it gets a little crazy going around turns sometimes though :D
i dont see how a PHR will help straight line either.\'01 TA with boltons, cam <b>11.28@119.72 (1.49)</b><br />\'97 Tahoe LT 4x4- stockComment
