I am working with a local V owner to see if we can get a install vid of the traction kit as well as some videos of runs of different rpm drops to show results. I will know the answer by the latest Friday.
Best,

I also tried it in the water with very little wheel hop (I mean very litttle, almost not noticable). There was some added noise to the interior, but it wasn't bad, maybe a 1-2 on a scale of 1-10, 10 being loud. The noise level was dependent on what type of roads I was driving on (black top=no noise, cement highway w/ grooves=noise). Going to the track tomorrow, so I will try to get some videos. |

Dont forget now, MUCH of the hop depends on your personal driving habits, when I invented the kit, I had numerous folks here claim they hadnt suffered any hop, so I would advise that you all keep in mind individual drivers and cars as well.
I had much worse hop at part throttle launches than just clutch dumping too, as well as the shift points. |

I didnt read the rest of this thread, but what would the total cost be shipped? This is the stage 3 kit right? I've been looking into these and heard they're better then the BMR one. I'll probably be in for a kit though. How many more are needed for this batch? |
