I would not daily drive the MT Street R. Very soft compound with hardly no tread. It's basically a slick with 2 grooves in it.

No problem Man. I think you will really like this tire on the track.

You don't get that with an IRS, as engine torque reaction is carried straight back to the differential, with only cradle bushing compliance effects allowing any chassis roll for the front bar to resist. But losing the bar entirely still means less weight way out on the nose. Norm

I meant stick shift.

Thought so, John, just didn't want there to be any confusion.
On stick-shift drag racing in general, I wonder how many people today are anywhere near as good as Ronnie Sox was. Heh . . . how many people even know what the original slick-shift mod was without looking it up? Norm

I removed mine and really didn't notice any diff just a little weight savings I guess .

Bumping up. Thinking about disconnecting the front sway bar. I need every bit to hook off the line on a unprepped surface. I already have trailing arms, toe rods, Pegasus solid subframe bushings. I'll probably go with the MT et r drag radials with slicks. I'm on a th400. Will disconnecting the front sway bar help out or what else could I do?

Unless your car rolls over to the right on launch enough to clearly notice, disconnecting the front bar is a waste of time. Even removing it completely only helps by losing a few lbs of weight up front. Whether you get enough straight line help by front bar removal to matter, there will be some risk of ending up with oversteer under some (or maybe many) predictable driving situations.
IRS cars can't effectively use either low front roll stiffness or high rear roll stiffness to help equalize rear tire grip like the stick axle cars can, because there's no chassis roll for them to work with and no driveshaft-induced unloading of the RR tire to have to fix. Norm

camarosspower, i think it helped my car get more front end extension and weight transfer more. You could just unhook the end links and tie up the bar to try it.

I would say it helped me on launch and yes a lot of front extension to keep the rear planted.

Thanks guys. I'll just have to disconnect it and see how it works for me. Doc, what Hoosiers are you talking about slicks or drag radials?
