time for a sway bar...what one?

alright guys, looking for a drag sway bar.
Was looking through thunderracing.com and saw the wolfe drag race bar. Now, i searched, and found a post saying that you need to remove the fuel tank and use a fuel cell, but thunderracing.com doesnt mention it at all.

Looking only for the single kit. My car will be in the 10s (wont go faster than 10.0 at the track, maybe mid-high 9's and detune it for 10.0 at the track not sure yet)

Now, if the wolfe requires me to remove the fuel tank, etc, i will not get it.
Any other recommendations?

Been looking into the spohn drag sway bar as well so looking for feedback on that too

I run the spohn b/c I wanted to keep my stock tank at the time.......Now I don't really need it but since I have everything I will just use what I have. The spohn is pretty nice.

does it prevent anti-roll like the wolfe does?

also, for clarification, the wolfe requires you to ditch the stock fuel tank for a fuel cell?

the wolfe goes on top of the rear the spohn goes on the bottom. It prevent anti roll on mine..I was pulling the left about 18 inches and the right about 6 inches or less.

With the bar are pulls em straight but I never got to put 100% power to it before I pulled the engine and built a new one. We should know in a few weeks when I get my trans fixed. I think the spohn should be fine.

injuneer, is that your wolfe bar?
It looks like it does not require you to get rid of the gas tank, is that correct?

Not mine (mine is the Spohn). Used to belong to a friend.... 97 SS convertible. He had his tank removed and was running a cell, but it doesn't appear to be because of the Wolfe. I think he still had the tank in the car when the Wolfe was installed. It worked pretty well though.... 1.30 60-fts, low 8's at over 160 MPH in a 3,500# chassis.
