Wheel hop sucks!!!

I just replaced my old clutch & plate with new ACT Street disc & plate. The tranny hooks & feels awesome, I've already put about 500 miles before I decided 2 test da new bad boy out! But there is a problem, not 2 big really, besides the fact that when I shift from 1st into 2nd (even 3rd sometimes) at 8500 RPM, I get mad wheel hop. :x I checked my tire pressure and raised it up to 37psi (Azenis), still hopping. No power shifting, just regular granny shifting & quick shifting.

One of the shops around my area recomended a Z10 Radius Arm kit which aplies on to the front of the suspension- & eliminates wheel hop!

Any suggestions on what I can come up with to prevent future wheel hops let me know? Thanks.....

Z10 = no wheel hop, I adjusted mine about 3 to 4 turns in (toe-in), and I have zero wheel hop with stock mounts, I do intend to replace the stock mounts with urethane though to minimize movement of the drive train on launches.
