I dumped it at about 4k and it chattered all the way through first gear
Is this what we have to deal with on modern muscle cars

The typical mods for handling the wheel hop are trailing arms, outer trailing arm bushings, toe rods, differential bushings, and rear cradle bushings. You are basically wanting to limit the unwanted movement in the rear suspension, rear cradle, and the differential. Probably the easiest and most affordable way to improve the wheel hop issue is with the trailing arms and outer trailing arm bushings. Now I am not saying these parts will completely control the wheel hop but it will help out substantially and will make a noticeable difference. Wheel hop is a very dynamic issue and there are numerous variables that contribute to it. If you were going to use our BMR stuff I would recommend our BMR non-adjustable trailing arms (TCA026) and our BMR outer trailing arm bushings (BK006). These parts can be bought for under $200 and can be installed with simple hand tools in a couple hours.
From there I would do the rear cradle bushings, differential bushings, and toe rods. I like doing these all at once because there is a considerable amount of overlapping labor between these parts. Depending on how much power you plan making I would either recommend our BMR "street" rear cradle bushing kit (BK041) for 450RWHP and less or our BMR "pro" rear cradle bushing kit (BK030) for anything more. These kits come with both the rear cradle bushings and differential bushings. For the toe rods I would recommend our BMR non-adjustable toe rods (TR002).
If you have any questions or if there is anything we can help you with let me know.
