Also is unhooking one side of the sway bar the same as taking it off exception of the weight or do I need to disconnect both sides?

I would do both sides or remove and where you are upstate ny I would spray them down with pb blaster ahead of time and make sure all the nuts and bolts can be removed... I left out that detail mine were rusty so I borrowed a sawzall and cut my end links off that night too lol

On there website it now says sorry track closed we got rained out lol. 0% rain there today with high of 54 part sunny. I can understand for safety reasons? Is there to cold of a temp to run on a track? Anyways tested volant setup yesterday. Throttle response is feels more responsive vs ws6 setup. For those of you who say the hood scoops on the ws6 don't really flow good air due to there angle. Well I can say when I popped my hood after hour drive the volant filters/air tube to tb were very cold to the touch. The tb was really cold also. Under hood temps were obviously warmer but the inside of the volant airbox was way cooler. I noticed my ls6 intake was cooler to. So the hood must draw in a decent amount of air. It was in low 50's yesterday.

I have run at New England Dragway in NH with temps right around freezing. Atco in Jersey stays open into December people get some real impressive times there from now till closing provided they can get traction - perfect for a lightly modded car with sticky tires to run some hero times...

That's too bad. Do you get the text message updates? The text is more up to date than the website.

I think it's somewhere on the website. You send a text message to a certain phone number then they will always update you.
