Default I need street/strip suspension

Ok so, My trans am pulled a 1.649 60 foot, the run be4 that was a 1.74 so i know it was spinning a bit. I have hoosier cheater slicks/radials, and i had my front swaybar out. Recently (thursday) while messing around on the highway I changed lanes and cut between 2 cars, and i found a car infront of me hard on the breaks, needless to say i swerved into the slow lane, and started fishtailing for like 500 feet before finally going around and smashing up. My baby is total's because the frame bent, but i feel like the swaybar wouldhave helped me keep control, and i dont know if i wanto drive without it in a new car. SOO...... I want suspension so i dont have to take out the front sway bar to hook. What should I get suspension wize so i can hook?

about the car.... I have new mods and Ill probably be lookin at around 410 - 415 rwhp, with a ss3600 verter. I suspect ill probably be able to grab a 1.60 -1.61 60 foot with the car hooking the right way.

Im a bracket racer, so i dont mind if a suggested setup is a little overkill. I dont wanto turn the tire in the final round and loose the race if you know what i mean.

you don't have to take the bar completely out to get better front --> rear weight transfer....all you need to do is take out one (or both) endlink(s) while you're at the track, then before the drive home, just re-install them.

sure, leaving the bar on the car will cause there to be a bit more weight on the front of the car, but if you're going to be driving the car to/from the track, you'll either need to deal with it and leave it on, or just get used to completely removing/reinstalling the entire front bar while you're at the track.
