Ok so i talked to him he said without a front sway bar whenever i take a turn since my front axle isn't one piece the two pieces will bend in different directions and the front axle will brake

Not true. Ask him why drag racers don't ever use a front sway...... All the sway does is help transfer weight in corners to equalize body roll. I run mine, but I want to handle well.

I went w/ Energy Suspension end-links and sway bar bushings from Summit. They were under $30 for all, IIRC.

He told me i could take if off for the dragraces but i'm pretty sure i'm not going to do much street racing... especially around curves. and i don't wanna jack with taking off and on everytime I go to the drags.

A lot of people run stangs on the street w/o problems. Just don't decide one day to haul *** around a corner....it won't be as predictable as w/ the sway.

yeah that's no problem and I like the weight reduction it gives me....question! I am putting a 4340 eagle 347 stroker kit in my engine with a ford racing hydrualic roller cam e303 and hydrualic roller lifter the other stuff is stock. what the likely hood of popping the tires just a little bit. if not what else to I need.

I agree with gspfunk don't start bending corners it will come out from underneith you it will put some stress on the other components but nothing major

If you dont want the heavy *** front sway bar get a MM one.... they are like 1/3 the weight.

You mean chirping them? Auto or manual?

Really, w/ a 347, you should be able to break 'em loose w/ either.

I'm talking about popping the front tires up a little bit. yeah i dont' need a really good handling car plus i was gonna put a top strut bar on it and some subframe connectors so i personnaly think i'll be fine.
