In order to get the car to react quicker, I took my first step today... I put tubes in the Hoosiers. This reduces sidewall flex and should help to not waste as much time wrinkling as opposed to propelling forward. It's a small chnge, I know... but we are talking hundredths of a second here. Its also a trick for cars OVER 3000 pounds.

I also loosend up my rear sway bar on passenger side last year. That will be tightened up when tires reinstalled. Is there a proper proceedure for tightening each side the same? I figure to equalize, just count the bare threads on each side and match??!!

Your right brother Hink, it's all about science..
The science of horsepower trial and error and if you don't play that game, you do'nt find the "GAIN".
I liked to run a longer bolt on the passenger side and a longer spacer to preload the bar some

The tubes should help. Are you stalling up as high as you can? Maybe you are losing a little to converter wind up?
For the sway bar end links I'd go get a new poly set and set them the same by measuring the distance between the bar and the frame mount.
