I know strut tower braces make the car sturdier and help with cornering, but do they do anything for drag racing other than add extra weight to the front of the car?

I like straight line fast more than cornering, if I want to do some cornering I'll get in the wife's Cobalt SS/TC. I was just thinking about selling the SLP one that's on the car and wanted to make sure I wouldn't regret it. I don't think I will.

As far as the STB, I don't think it's an issue or will have much of an effect for what you do. The top shock mounts should be relatively rigid in the 4th gen.
There are some people who complained about trying to add one and it not lining up correctly, but I'm not sure if they are taking into account the angle of the shock mount bolts. So I'm not sure if that was installation misconception or possibly slight deformation in the chassis. STB can't hurt you, except for slight additional weight.
