Front Sway bar removal
How will this effect my car? The car is strickly drag running 6.90's in the 1/8th. The front sway bar looks pretty heavy, just wondering if I can remove it without any problems. The front end is tied down if that makes any difference.

I agree with ss86, go ahead and take it off. It will drop some weight and help weight transfer. I just took mine off a few weeks ago. It won't hurt anything especially since you don't drive on the street....just makes the car handle worse on curves.

well I took it off, along with the front impact bumper and the rear impact bumper. Not sure on the total lbs. taken off, but that should help me out a little bit..

We have a winner.... So when you hit something, you motor will stop it from getting into your cabin... I cant say that is a good way of doing it.. is this car roll caged (Completely)?

yes, full cage, SFC's, it will never see the street. If I hit something head on at the track, then something is wrong.

I'd say somewhere in the neighborhood of 75lbs give or take 5-10.

It picked me back up at the strip. Before in the heat i could only manage to run a 7.04.. Saturday night i went out to make a few time runs and the first 2 i spun out of the hole a bit and went 7.02 both runs, then lowerd the tire pressure to 10 1/2 lbs. and went to the right lane and went 6.97 @98. So i'd say it made the difference i was looking for. I just put on a set of M/T 29.5x10.5 tires from my 28.0x10.5's so im anxious to see if that helps my 60ft. as well as mph this coming weekend.
