Well, you want to pay attention to your RPM you're landing in the next gear. If you're shifting at 5800 in first to second, you're ending up at around 3000 after the shift? Not necessarily that bad, peak torque is around 4000 RPM.

Its about 3000 or so after shifting around there i think? Cant rember (just woke up literally 2 min ago) i can verify later for sure.

Engine and trans mounts from my understanding, are a better material (stiffer) then poly bushings. Yeah i was reading last night that poly pushings can help on wheel hop. A slick could really help as well. But i cant find a slick in 17" that will fit. So i have to stick with a DR tire.

Going home last night i did a few pulls on country roads (alone) shifting at 5500, ill have to try that at the track.
