Default Strut Bar

Will one of the strut bars that goes from shock tower to shock tower, as well as the firewall give me better traction for launching? Or is that primarily for turning?

i think thats more it you only pull one wheel up or have a hard time pulling both up... i would think it would help with evening out the weight transfer over the back tires, but i'm far from an expert on this
