Going to Englishtown tomorrow night. I've heard rumors that disconnecting, or removing my front sway bar will help transfer the weight to the rear during launch. I do have full tubular suspension, from k-member to control arms and the suspension on my car is real tight. I've run at the track before, but will disconnecting the front sway bar help. Or is it one of those deals where, "Well, you've run at the track all the time with it connected, so try running with it disconencted and see how it goes."

Thanks Everyone.

Yes, it will help. Regarding how much I can't say, but it will help.

KYB Gas-A-Just shocks/struts......but no, not manually adjustable. I'm going to either disconnect the end links or just remove the bar totally for the track tomorrow. So, if it makes a difference, I will find out tomorrow. Hoping to break into the 11's.

yea it was a bitch getting the end links on when i got the new sway bar - but i have access to a lift at my shop so i can just take them off there - and also the car is getting trailered down there so i dont hav eto worry about driving the car with no front sway bar .

I've been driving mine without the front swaybar for, oh, about a year now.
