| We have tested the swaybar "theory" as it seems and if you want to lower your 60ft on a properly setup car (properly as in making enough power to matter and is on tires that dont spin). Removing the front sway bar will help you greatly. Take for instance, we took a 750-800whp supra to the track. It runs a 6spd on a 70mm turbo. Car was running 1.7x 60fts and running 6.7 at 112mph in the 1/8th. We removed the front swaybar links (5 minutes of work at the track) and made more passes. 60ft times reduced to high high 1.4x and netted 6.3-6.4 average runs at 113-114mph. Car runs HKS Drag coilovers. No changes to boost, tire pressure, track conidtions or anything. Just jack the front up, remove bolts, lowered and let cool down time occur. I know most could argue that a 6spd is not very consistant and this would be inaccurate but this car is always running 6.3 or 6.2 on a weekend basis. Car now makes 1200whp but hasn't been back to the track. Vehicle is Gary White (driver for Titan Motorsports) white 6spd supra. This same experiement can be seen weekend and weekout on Rustangs and Maros. I haven't been to the track with my own Z in some time now but the same can be done on a Z. Same principle applies despite the anti squat engineering. This is how my old green car had such great 60fts and such great times back in the day for stock turbos (back before the leader gear setup). Hope nothing is taken the wrong way, just providing insite as a weekend dragstriper (sounds kind of dirty dont it?).
