Default Wheel Hop anyone ?

I have occasional wheel hopping at soft launch with my C2S running stock PASM with DSC controller in normal (didn't try with sport) mode. Is this normal and I should ease up on the throttle or am I looking at new engine mount ? Tailpipe looks normal, not dropping.

Not normal. That means PAG's launch control software's suspension settings' assumptions are not met by your 3rd party PASM controller.

My launch control in my 6 speed is my right foot, no fancy computerized launch control in my 2006

Still probable that your PASM is not acting as it should to avoid wheel hopping. Remove your 3rd-party module and reconnect the factory controller and test.

I experienced wheel hop on launch when the car was stock with the factory controller so I don't think that was it. I am now starting to wonder [remember] if I am only getting wheel hop when my PS2 are not up to temp.

It quite possibly is the tires but all control arm bushings in the rear should be looked at to see if any are worn/torn

For anyone who insist wheel hop is NOT normal, I offer the following threads for your reading pleasure:

My bad, I should have use the search function first. Now, I feel normal again.
