I am building up my drag car right now (solid roller LT4 383/TH350/12bolt/direct port NX 350 shot) and I am doing the fuel system and suspension on the car right now.
I am installing a complete tubular front end (BMR K and upper/lower a-arms), Wolfe Torque arm and rear single drag sway bar. hals all the way around, BMR SFCs are already installed.
My question regards the front sway bar. Now I have always heard of people removing them for the track.
If my car will see very limited street time (cruises to car shows, etc.) will I run into any problems without a front sway bar. If so, then what is a good one to go with?

 

You won't have any trouble on the street without a front sway bar, unless you like to pretend you are a road racer

Nah, just a nice and easy cruise to and from local car shows. No road racing to get there

 

I think Sam Strano makes a hollow bar, like a 32mm for around $150

 

Your running just a bit more juice than I am, and I run no front sway bar, and the Spohn Performance "race version" rear sway bar. Very effective combination for keeping the car level and straight on launch. Buddy of mine with a 8.6-second 30th SS ran no front sway bar and the Wolfe rear sway bar, and was able to drive the car on the street..... at least until he added the 'chute and the huge rear spoiler.......

I also drive the car on the street a bit with the skinnies, and as long as you recognize that the cornering capabilities have been reduced to less than 50% of normal, you will survive.

 

Thanks Fred, that is kinda what I was thinking. I thought George had that setup.
I got some Fikses that I roll around for street tires/wheels, so I will just use the skinnies/slicks at the track.

Thanks guys, there went a little more weight off the front of the car (removed A/C, cruise control, windshield wiper resevoir, overflow, battery, tubular k, tubular upper/lower a-arms, blah blah blah).
