so ... been to the track and finaly ran a slow 13.0 at 107 with a high 1.98 after getting the car back after 3 runs, car makes 350 rwhp, but finally hooks good

when the car launches, and the front end comes down hard the rear tires break loose and i need to modulate the throttle to get her back in line

i have stock springs and shocks and the sway bar is removed

how can i battle the tire spin for now, untill i find the cash for drag springs and adjustable shocks???

should i reinstall the sway bar??
thanks

You don't need the front swaybar. You do need the rear swaybar.

However, the loading & unloading of the suspension is a function of the springs and dampeners. Upgrading the shocks, struts, and springs is the solution to your problem.
