Default Wheel hop.....???

Got a question about a rear end noise.
Anytime I take off hard in first or shifting to second really hard the car seems to wheel hop or seems like something in the rear is hoping back and forth...
Anyone with any ideas???
Could I be launching this car wrong for it to evetually keep hoping or whatever it is doing back there ?
And when shifting to second Am I shifting too slow???for it to sway and ultimat. hop...

I also have 19's in the rear with 305's PS2 and 3:90 gears...
Thanks

i have the same issue. My problem is that i dont really have to be shifting hard into second....if i just squeeze 2nd i start to feel a slight vibration, almost like a wheel hop. I dont think its wheel hop for me since i wouldnt be spinning the tires just squeezing the throttle.
It feels like a hop but not violent...just a vibration and it doesnt do it everytime. I notice it more coming out of turns. HMmmm
