Forced Induction and wheel hop - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

All,
How many of you after installing a super charger had wheel hop issues.
I am trying to decide if I need to address this now before the super charger is installed in a few weeks. I would rather spend money elsewhere right now but I also do not want to damage anything.

Suspension first, then add power.

Is your car automatic or manual?

dekan513 · 12-08-2012, 10:19 PM

trailing arms will do alot for u.after that u can do a lil here and there.

Apex Paul · 12-08-2012, 10:34 PM

I think sub frame bushings are a better place to start than the trailing arms.

There is certainly no crime in doing suspension first, but if you are not having a wheel hop problem, why try to solve it? Again, I would go with a sub frame bushing first. Starting with a trailing arm might solve the problem (or future problem in this case) but it isn't the weakest link in the equation.

It will need lots of suspension work then. L99 can get away with little to no suspension work to get the power down but the M6 needs the book thrown at it. Trailing arms, diff bushings, and cradle bushings at the minimum. Do fuel pump and maybe gears at the same time as diff and cradle bushings to save your self some labor.

I was afraid you were going to say that.

StephenS_84 · 12-09-2012, 05:50 AM

I have an L99 and I'm S/C. All I did was sub frame bushing kit, trailing arms, toe rods and the wheel hop was gone. Next up is some GFORCE axels and my suspension will be good to go for awhile. The manuals need all this plus a little bit more.

600+ rwhp with a m6 and no wheel hop!
23k on the car and rear dif bushings are needed but she will spin at will with no wheel hop!
I always do my burn outs from a roll 10-20 mph dump second and she is good for over 300 feet + then third till you run out of road !

Smart Line · 12-09-2012, 06:59 AM

Slicks at the drag strip did just fine as long as I left under 3 k

bikerdan · 12-09-2012, 08:30 AM

Trailing arms and bushings pretty much solved my hop

MA2010SS · 12-09-2012, 09:18 AM

Differential bushings, trailing arms and toe rods here. Still had a little hop but not like when it was stock. Drag radials made the biggest difference with my car

I just bought everything I could get basically except the under body bracing. Do you guys only experience the wheel hop with the TC off? I keep it on and usually never get hop, if I take it off then its more present.
