removing the front sway bar will help weight transfer. It also weighs about 20lbs including the endlinks. So loosing the weight and improving weight transfer will help out your times. I usually see a .10 off my 60ft when its off compared to being on.
for your next tracking outing, loose the front sway, all the seats except the driver, jack and spare. I do this all in under an hr, its a 80-100 lb weight savings and without the front sway the car launches a thousand times better.

When I bought my car my connectors were snapped off on both ends from rust so they had taken it off. It your going to the strip and drivin straight its fine but if your takin turns you'll want it because I messed around with my car without it and it helped alot when I put it back on when I got the connectors. Helps keep your tires back the ground and get better contact. Drivin drag it helps, turning no such luck. There are lots of people who take theirs off for the strip. I also have heard of people who take them off at the strip and then put them back on (its annoying to remove an put back on all the time) because they like street driving alot too. But if its just a straight up drag car leave it off. It won't hurt.
