Pulled my sway bar off, along with the links and hardware, it weighed 27 lbs.

No, I didn't drive it yet...it is raining here. Last year when I took it off I didn't notice a diference, but I didn't have the DR's either. It just made it a pain to turn fast or go onto on ramps, but I am hoping with the DR's I will see something. Really have me fingers crossed to go 13.1's If I can cut a 1.7 60' (did it eairler this year) with a 104 trap speed I should get a low 13.

what happens when you turn sharp without the sway bar? do your tires rub the fenderwell?

good luck at the track, hope you get 13.1's!
