Remove Front Swaybar to Improve 60' Times?

[XLR8]

My 60' are usually in the mid 1.6's with the ORIGINAL stock suspension plus air bags and Hoosier QTPs. Will removing the front swaybar help 60' times? Should I just unhook the end links and try it? Or should I leave well enough alone? Thanks.

The minimum benefit to taking the bar off is the loss of 20-35 lbs. off the very front end. People like to disconnect one side to make the front truly independent. I disconnect mine because it's easier to re-connect when you drive home.

From what I hear removing the front swaybar help with rear tire traction. That is of course if you are pulling wheels off the ground.

From what I have been told, my left front is almost coming off of the ground on a low 1.6 - high 1.5 60'.

With the front sway bar connected it wants to keep the front tires the same height, but by doing so it will unload a rear tire from frame tourque. That is why you will see some cars with over a foot difference in the height of the front tires

Those cars pulling 1 tire up further than the other are twisting the frame.I dont think its all to good for a car and youll get better traction if your launch were straight.I know it looks like killer transfer but its not.A nice rear bar can help that out though.

Yes sometimes the transfer is bad but if you try to keep it level it can pull a rear tire off the ground. And yes a good rear swaybar is a great idea. A great way to help transfer is to use a four link rear with the frame all boxed in.
