Stru tower brace and drag racing, yeah or nah?

Alright I am looking for a 1.9XX 60" I am pretty consitent 2.0XX, and my best is a 2.027.


I am going ot unhook my fornt endlinks, I did it before when I had stock sways but I have 1LE with thicker endlinks and prthatne bushings. I think it might that might be the extra boost in weight transfer I need.

But I also have a Strut Tower Brace. Think there would be any gains in drag racing with removing it? Its not that heavy, and it definitely stiffens up the cars chassis, made a big difference on my car in cornering(my car was in a sereious front end accident awhile back).

My question is would it be better to have less structual integirity in the front end and make it more floppy, nad a little less weight off the nose? Or to keep it and have increases structual integrity.


By the way I have a 3.4L so I am not twisting the chassis with torque or anything.

I am sure that taking off the Strut Tower Brace and unhooking the end links will help. However, my car went a 1.83 60 foot with the strut tower brace and end links hooked up. This was with no wheel spin.

I dont think that a stb will affect weight transfer.
