Default e.t. gain from removing front sway bar?

How much gain should you expect in the 1/8 mile from removing your front swaybar? Thanks in advance.

Depends on how the car performed with it in place...Some videos would help with chassis tuning.

^Agreed, removing suspension bind helps. Removing static weight from the front end help. Every car is different. You gotta go out there and see.

I actually went slower 60' after removing the front swaybar. went from a 1.58-1.59 to a 1.61-1.63. My Ets stayed the same. I never did put it back on though.
