Need more info!

What kind of tires?

Tire pressure?

Suspension?

How are you launching it? What rpm?

poly motor mounts will help stop this, esp. the front and rear mount. Also, wheelhop can be eliminated by adjusting the rpm you launch at combined with the right tire pressure.

I did the 3 powerflex ones first, they worked good... recently I put in the Buschur rear mount, and there was a big improvement in drivability with the Exedy stage 2 clutch I had. More vibration, but worth it for sure... now, I noticed that they (Buschur)recommend doing the front and rear only... I'm wondering how much less vibration it would be with just the front and rear.

Don't F around then get the replacement lower brace with solid mount, rear poly mount, and those rear diff ear replacements... she'll stop moving around then!

When mine sits in the garage or rolls into the track on a trailer, I'll be doing the same

I was having a similar problem, and it depends on the turbo size. 5800 is good for a stock turbo but judging by your et you probably got a 35r. I got a 35r and I started my two-step this year at 5800 and the best I could do 1.89 60'. So I raised it to 6350 and ran 23 psi on RE-O1R's. and ran a preaty consisant 1.70 60' with best 1.61.

i wish i had a 35r or bigger, im still on the stocker. i just wanna find out this problem before i upgrade the turbo. no sense in getting a bigger turbo if i cant launch it right. the only reason i think its my clutch is that i was doing great on the stocker, started to go out and i shipped to iraq for a bit and put it in while i was gone. so the whole launch idea is new on that..but im willing to take sugestions on other things to help the launch
