Default How Much E/T is sway bar removal worth?

Just curious How much time in the 1/4 I can gain from popping off the front swaybar. It's just on street tires at the moment. Thanx

I've heard that it gets better results with drag radials, is that true?

It unlocks the front end. The whole point is to better transfer the wieght to the back. And with the front end being disconnected the car is more able to do that.

You'll get better results with DR's regardless.

The sway bar removal will help a bit. That's why I'm hoping for 12's.

The rule of dragracing is how much money you have is how fast you will go.

Just get your wallet out and it's easy.

That's why I am stuck in the 11's I had to put my wallet back in my pocket.

HAHA, No joke, Mine always stays in my pocket or I will "over-utilize it" Its bad enough making the car and insurance payment, let alone think about all the options I have to make it run 10s, but knowing that in real life I can never afford them.

so if you disconnect this and you run a stb you will need to remove that also im assuming as that would still be connecting the front end.
