Well, after making about 8 passes down the drag strip I concluded that removing the sway bar didn't make enough of a difference in my car, at the ETs and speeds I run, to make it worthwhile leaving it off.
I didn't pick up anything in my 60' times and I don't like the fact that the front end feels looser even in a straight line. If I get the car into the 10s on muscle, then it may be worthwhile. I put it back on.
