the wolfe swaybar is fine on the street as long as you don't try to "carve" corners when it's hooked up. also, you can unhook the swaybar on the street.(and when it's unhooked it isn't that bad really)

Thanks for the responses guys, I'm going to get a swaybar. I'm going to see a chassis guy on mon-tues and I'm going to ask him about the corner scales. This guy was watching my run when I got outta shape so he knows what the car is doing so I'll see what he says.

The Spohn drag bar is a bolt-in, and has some give in it. The Wolfe and the Billingsley are fully welded. It's like driving a car with ladder bars around.

I know WS6TransAm01 has a sway bar which is a direct replacement.
But that photo above is an Anti-roll bar.
Actually, Tektrans, my car is going to the right, right at the launch myself.
I was/am looking into an Anti-Roll bar myself.
I heard they are hell on the street though?

On the street, just disconnect the passenger side endlink and you will be fine. Otherwise my Wolfe bar is pretty noisy.

You wanna know what parts specifically in the rear. Truth is I have no idea. I got this rear probably around, ****, 6+ years ago. Me and a few guys from Cartek got them around the same time. All I ever knew about it was it was a Moser 12 bolt w/ 33 spline axles if I remember correctly and I ordered mine with 4:10 gears.
Thing has whined like an old lady since day one. I've had the gears changed from 4:10's to 3:42's and back to 4:10's. Gears always looked good when they came out, I even re installed the old 4:10's when I got rid of the nitrous.
The car isn't exactly comfortable with the racing seats and doesn't handle that well with no sway bar and skinnies so if I went with the fully welded bar it wouldn't be that bad since I only really drive the car to the track and back and to the shop etc. But I'm not really sure I'm making enough power to really need the welded bar anyway, maybe the Spohn is all I really need.
But if the Spohn doesn't totally fix my problem, that would suck.

The BMR drag bar pictured is like the Spohn drag bar. The Wolfe bar is welded on all four points, and the BMR and the Spohn ones have 2 rigid parts and two parts that use poly bushings.

John, Does that BMR or Spohn set up work well?
I have mostly BMR parts on my car and would like to stick with BMR if it works?
How are these type on the street? That is probably more of a concern to me than Tektrans?
Maybe, Tektrans and I can get them together?
Thanks
PS. WS6TransAm01 does leave straight, only diff is he has a 6-speed we have Autos.

PSJ- 1.35 is Awesome, I hope I can get close to that when I get this worked out.
