      Need help tuning setup.

      We got the charger running and ran it hard at the autocross last week. Now we are trying to fine tune the suspension for the upcoming optima challenge and running into a couple issues.
      1) What is the cure for wheel hop under hard acceleration? Car has a XV Motorsports 3link setup out back. I have Avco, single adjustable coilovers. Should I lighten the dampening or stiffen it?
      2) In a hard, tight turn, I am pulling the inside rear tire off the ground. I have about 4 inches total travel in the shocks in the rear. We have tightened the front shocks compression some, and it seems to help, but I am afraid we will run out of adjustment before I cure the problem.
      Remember this is a 3800 pound boat, that has been stiffened from front to rear, and with 295 Toyo 888s of the front the car will absolutely turn. My fear is there is no fix at all, given the weight transfering to the front will automatically pick up the opposite rear.

      Other than the above mentioned issues, the car is great, should be alot of fun on the big coarse.

      Thanks guys,

      Bill
