i would think adjustable upper and lower control arms. you might even look into an anti roll bar. i have one on mine, even though its only a drag car , and it hooks like a big dog

an anti roll bar has tabs that are attached to the axle tubes, and there are adjustable rods that connect to a bar that runs across to each side of the frame. they are adjustable so you dial them in. when you leave the line it will pick the front end up evenly instead of twisting the front end. i honestly dont know if a roll bar will stop the wheel hop or not. in the case of my car it has aftermarket upper and lower c- arms but they are not adjustable. all it has is a roll bar in the back. i dont have any issues whatsoever with wheel hop. right now i am running mid 11s in it and the guy who built it before me had a big block in it and it was running high 9s and low 10s with no problems.the car isnt tubbed or backhalfed or anything like that.it just has a 10" tire on it.

Wheel hop is usually due to axle twist. Stock upper control arms kinda suck, too much flex, get some tougher ones for sure. I know more about fox bodies than the 99-03 stlye though, but I think they have similar stock rear susp problems. The stock rear control arm set up allows for 4-5 deg of axle twist which is yucky. Not to mention that the stock uppers allow side to side movement of the rear axle, but that's more of a handling issue not a drag issue. A torque arm/panhard bar combo like the one from Maximum Motorsports solves both of these problems.

Yeah the UCA's should help with your wheel hop problems. Nice job on the time
