Message It's not a new idea but I hadn't tried it before Mark Leder suggested it. The left front end tends to lift more on launches but the anti-sway bar keeps it and the right side from lifting as much and providing better weight transfer. Aftermarket ones also weigh about 15 pounds.

Normally my 60' are 1.7s, I've only had 2 1.6s previously. Went to California Speedway Saturday. Ran in the King Taco lane!

First run:
60'-1.561
unfortunately a Honda had just spilled oil on the track and I got wobbly and had to get out of it, so 12.3@105.

Other runs I did increase the tire pressure up a bit and took it a little easier in case the track was still slippery:
60'-1.680
11.997@116

60'-1.699
11.941@116 (that's my best yet).

So it seems like a little improvement, every little bit adds up, a tenth in the 60' is two tenths in the 1/4, couldn't hurt to try if you're not already doing it. It drives fine without it, just don't take sharp turns with a lot of speed.
