Default strut tower brace and drag racing

Bought my T/A a few years back and it had a slp strut tower brace on it. I am slowly making it into a mainly strip car with some street use. Mods: full bolt on,ms3
Cam,150 shot,4000 stall, big n little's with Dr's,panhard bar,lca's with relo brackets, torque arm and qa1's up front. My question is are there any benefits to having a strut tower brace for drag racing? I know it adds weight to the nose which is bad, and I don't do much corner carving so should I sell it?

Honestly if you are just worried about straight line performance like you say you are I would just sell it and use some the funds on something that will actually help you.

I would imagine the only benefit of a stb would be some rigidity if youre lifting wheels. Other than that i'd ditch it.
