Rear Sway Bar I have searched but really haven't found what I am looking for. How much will a Drag Race rear sway bar improve your 60' times? My car is hooking pretty good but is leaving the line with the drivers side tire a lot higher than the passenger side. I am cutting on average 1.44 60' with a best of a 1.42. The car ran a 10.52 @ 128 with a DA of 1800'
Here are some specs
416 Trick Flow 235's
FLT A4 - Circle D 5000
Moser 12 Bolt 3.73 gears
MT Stiff Wall ET Drags 26x10x15

I do not know if your going to gain that much more in the 60 foot but what it will do is let the car leave consistantly. Sometimes track prep can be a difference in a record setting run or a blown run. IMO keeping the car level is half the battle which a solid rear weld in sway will do.
I use a UMI drag bar and its great on the street. I do not look to be a corner carver.

I ordered a UMI today because I didn't like the twisting of the car. I was just curious if it would actually improve my 60'. What else can be done with out adding more power or gutting the car to get it to 60' better. I have Hals up front and Competition engineering shocks in the rear. I don't know what it weighs but it is lightened up some.
