going to the track tomorrow, UPDATE!!
Im taking my car to the track tomorrow for the first time(not my first time just first for this car) My question is, is it worth it to remove the front sway bar to get the better weight transfer or is it not really worth it since i will only be on regular 235/50/18 street tires. Also what psi do some of you run in the rear on street tires at the track?

RE: going to the track tomorrow, question
I wouldn't. Be careful on those tires on launch with that amount of HP/TQ. I'm 200 RWHPbehind you and can spin through 2nd and into 3rd on the track if I'm not careful.Most guys here drop to 25 to 27lbs in the rear and up to 40 in the front on street tires. Good luck, you really need slicks to realize your cars potential.

RE: going to the track tomorrow, question
i dont know about the bar, but i put my rear tires to 20psi and my front 40psi. I've pulled 1.9's b4 on my street tires but i have pretty much a stock car w/ a cat back 
w/ that kind of power and street tires, i would "try" to aim for 2. flat 60...cuz most likly; ur going to spin all the way down.

I don't think i'd go to the track with street tires.

Well i got only two runs tonight. traction was a big issue. I would come out the hole easy and slowly give more throttle then it would roast the tires switch to second still roasting the tires. I had to let off and get straight again then get back into it.

330ft.....5.83
1/8........8.58

A lot of NA guys run faster than that just with stickies!
I would not even bother myself going to the track without them with my measly 300hp
