how will taking off a sway bar help????
By taking off the swaybar it causes the driver side of the car to raise up and twist. By doing this, it transers more weight over the rear passenger corner of the car giving you more traction.

In laymans terms. Front goes up, rear goes down, and off you go.
i would think this is bad.... you dont want twisting....

It's called weight distribution. He's not going to permanently twist his frame, just one side of the suspension comes up a little further than the other.

with the 4.10's "your car" should be able to run low 13's

but umm... you driving, i doubt it. Make a few passes and learn how to drive your car at the track. Trust me thesetting is differant then the street.

Are high 13s a possibility taking into consideration my mods? o yea and the 4.10s wil b installed. Will disonnecting the front sway bar help? how about icing the intake?
seems like as long as you can drive and u dont spin to much you should make high 13s. Dimebag on here has flows and DRs with his 88 5.0 5 spd and ran a 14.2 I dont see why you shouldnt run a high 13. Be sure to tell us what you run.
