Mmmm... Never heard of wheelhop while moving, but wheelhop from a standstill is by far more dangerous to your rear end then wheelhop from a roll. Traction control helps eliminate wheelhop as well as deflating the tires somewhat. If you don't want traction control on, I suggest solid rear bushings.
It's also wierd that you are red-lining while down shifting even with synchro-rev match. I don't know how to fix that other than telling you to downshift sooner.
