Nope, nothing much else to my knowledge. The biggest deal is the front suspension travel, so if you didn't care about the weight you could just unhook it from the lower a arms before you ran at the track.

it decouples the front wheels and removes the weight up front allowing better weight transfer.

Re: Benifits of front sway bar removed??
Can you get the same effect by just undoing one end, or do both ends need to be loose?
It would not be that hard to unbolt one end at the track as I change tires already.
Thanks.

With my mods below, how much should I expect to gain in the 1/8th by removing the sway bar?
I ran 8.72 @82.4 (temps in the upper 80's) w/ 2.11 60'. I need to cut that 60' a little more. I'm running Nitto 555's..no DR's.
