I noticed on Comp. Engineering web site that they reccomend taking it off on a race only vehicle.

Good luck, Ed
I would not run without a rear swaybar.
Even with my small amount of power the Spohn Drag bar helped out a TON!!
It was leaning over on the launch and darting to the right, put the big sway bar on there and no more.
If wanting a more street/strip type set up we put a huge rear bar on a buddy's car with the poly endlinks and it helped his car out alot too.
The rear air bag is worth a shot, guess it depends on how much it is leaning over.

If you don't have something like the PeteZ bars, you don't want to take it off. How big a bar you need depends on how much power you are making, and how hard the car hooks. When I put my 383" in I tried to buy that monster from BMR, but they were on about a 60 day back order. I bought the next biggest one I could find (Spohn, I think?) and still needed an air bag with 35 psi in it to keep relatively flat on launch. It still leaned over some. Went to what I have now, pitched the anti-roll bar and air bag, leaves perfectly flat now. (Side-to-side, at least) and goes 60' from 1.30 to 1.35. Finally got a handle on the wheel stands too. Like I said, go take a look at the faster NHRA F body stockers. Ask around, see what they are doing. Might learn something.

Got a local juiced Z that was not running a rear bar, it was nasty but leaving on 200+ will do that sometimes....
