B4 i delete the front swaybar
What's your best 60ft. with it connected? Not worried about body roll, mostly long straights in the south. Also will the front raise sit up higher when on level ground?

I cut 1.5X 60ft times in my old daily driven T/A with no front sway bar. I daily drove the car for three years without any kind of issue. Taking the front sway bar off will not effect the ride height at all.

with it connected I was cutting 1.6's. Removed and viking shocks i'm cutting 1.3's. My sway bar bolts broke off and never reinstalled it. Handles fine but you will notice that it's not there initially. you get use to it.

I was cutting low 1.7s on a 26-10.5 Mickey. Took off the sway bar and went to a 27-11.5 Hoosier and cut 1.5x. Stock bottom stick car. You'll notice it when hitting a curve and goosing it from a 1st gear roll but it's nothing major at all. Like he said you'll get used to it. And ride height will stay the same.

Best 60 with sb 1.7
Best 60 without 1.5
That was with the old 3600 stall. Not sure what it will do now with the 4k stall and built trans.
Mt drs.
If your not worried about handling/body roll just take it off.
I keep mine on the street. I am one of the few who can feel something missing that should be on a street car. Just my taste though.

I went from a best of 1.90 to 1.76 back in my clutch slip radial days, now I've been running no front sway for 4 years and haven't looked back. Ride height does not change but when you punch it in 1st the front raises up alot more and in between shifts as well, makes the car feel faster too. It also rides a LOT smoother, front end floats over bumps like a caddy now haha. Downside is autox and road racing type things will be greatly diminished with a lot more body roll taking hard corners.

So far I've enjoyed mine off. It lifts in the front more and quicker. Handling you won't even notice if you drive around normal. Actually yeah it does ride smoother now without it. I did a drag bar in the back and skinnies at roughly the same time.
