First off, there is a big difference between a loss of traction and wheel hop.... Next, this is not a "yes or no" question.
You have left a ton of variables on the table for us to choose from.... Lets try to narrow it down.... And I'll stay with the "topic" of your limited comments...
Are you spinning the tires and the nannies are kicking in...???
Are you actually experiencing wheel hop, as in trying to rattle the fillings out of your teeth violent bouncing from the back...???
Stomping the throttle from a stand still, or low speed, can spin the tires enough that traction control or torque management or some other safety feature kicks in... reducing power....
This is simply fixed by setting the nannies properly... or turning them off selectively....
It can also be managed by sporting better tires.... If you have good tires, then maybe they need more heat before whacking the throttle....
Being more selective in where you whack the throttle with cool tires, or even warm tires.... Some road surfaces are not conducive to traction.
IF, it's actual wheel hop, then suspension modifications can help reduce the incidence or severity of these events. It will not entirely eliminate it. If that was possible, then pro drag racers would never have that problem.
You can look into trailing arms, toe rods, cradle bushings, (I don't recommend solid bushings) diff bushings, etc... Anything designed to firm up the rear suspension and keep the tires aligned looking straight down the track....
