If I unbolt my front sway bar endlinks tomorrow at the track, will it help weight transfer? My 60' times are horrible. 2.26 to be exact. ET is 13.4 at 106 mph. I haven't put in drag shocks yet. Still have the 50/50 gas charged street shocks.

At the very least, loosen it up to where it is just floating on the bolts. Make sure you still have a thread or two in the lock part of the nut.

Yes it will help. With your mph you have mid 12's in your car with good hook. Ron

Well I think it helped a little. I loosened it but didn't remove it. My best today was 12.78 at 109.49mph... but my 60 foot was only 2.02. It's better than before though!!

And how I come off the light. Also went down to 3 clicks on the rear single adjustable shocks. I had tried 5 clicks all the way to 10 clicks. My biggest problem has been getting the car to hook with the pro-tracks that are on it. I'm too cheap to buy slicks or drag radials.
