the bov sound is probably an intake, is your aftermarket? ive heard some do that. as for your wheel hop, you need motor mount inserts. they are polyurethane pieces that fill in the spaces in your motor mounts, making it stiffer. what happens is the motor starts bucking in the range allowed by your stock mounts, and if it keeps going, it starts pulling the weight off the front tires, then loading them up again as it rocks. thats what causes your hopping. once you install the inserts, it stops alot of that play, helping the tires stay solid on the ground.

New motor mounts should help you out. Don't go cheap on em either, since they're not that expensive.
