Axle hop explaination and a cheap cure

[MTF]

Thank you sir, I do notice a little hop, but much better then stock.
When I get my PCM back I'll post a vid of my truck I just hope I do not break something
I only tried it once and with the Whipple I only have to go about half thottle to spin both tires.

I will get in touch with Keys or Dinoone and see if someone is willing to post or send me a video of the Nationals with the Whipple.

I can but can't do this because it will wheel hop, I goning to shoot him an email and find out what he used.

You know, after looking at that video a couple of times I believe thats an open diff, but you understand what kind of power I am talking about right.

I don't think that was hop. It was the moment the tires that caught traction your hearing

I'm sorry it was late, I do not mean to be rude, the peel out is way too short to really judge if it would work for me.
I certainly do not want you to beat the crap out of your truck either. I know how hard it is to get those tires loose in locked diff mode.
I just grab the first vid on you tube without really looking at it good, hell we can do that without a supercharger maybe not as sweet.
So no insult intended!!! I'm just frustrated right now.

It's all good. I wasnt meaning you were being rude. It was late and I just did a quick reply. It's all good.

I'm gonna do it.

OK, I'm planning on adding a leaf this week. Just checked with a local shop. The gentleman there had a problem with adding a leaf that was heavier than the main leaf. In all my Magnificent Ignorance, I agreed with his concern and he will add a leaf of the same size as the main.

So the question I need an answered by Thurs nite, is this worth doing?

Also, this will be an added leaf (none removed) and the set will be arched. This seems to be a combination of the presented options. Anyone see any problem with this?

The est price is $600.

I wish I could give you an answer but I haven't had time to do the add a leaf.
I have read some post here and on the other forum that it works.

I just can't find anybody with a SuperCharger that did this, so info is limited.

Well I don't know how, but I missed this whole thread. Some good points are presented. I think I understand the process better now.

I will ask for clarification, but I assume he is only "arching" the new leaf for me.

I am concerned aboout his reluctance to use the .449 material due to the main being .437.

AR (or anybody), you replaced the second leaf with this .449. Any guess on the value of replacing (not adding) the second leaf with a leaf the same size as the main?

 

[AlbertaRaptor]

The .449 works fine as I would think a .437 would.

I can't speak for anything I haven't seen though

I sent you my cell number if you want to text me or want to ask some questions.

Now I'm NOT gonna!

Well, I want to thank you all for reading and responding to my posts on this, but I've changed my mind. I'm just going to go for thr RPG stage 3. I think this add a leaf is a good option. But I don't want to deal with convincing small shop that this is what I really want to do. Rather pay the xtra money than listen to the disclaimers.

Thanks again.
