ThanksNO !
This is a terrible idea folks. Leave in on or disconnect both.It can be beneficial on the street. Just take the end link off one side when you race it.

No, disconnecting one side completely eliminates anything the sway bar can do. Both ends must be connected for it to have any affect.This is a terrible idea folks. Leave in on or disconnect both.

I agree IF it's a 100% strip car.Not sure why there is so much debate here.......he asked if he should install one, meaning it's not on the car yet and his car by his description sounds like a track only car or at worst a street/strip car and either way the answer should be a 100% consensus NO
I disagree.....and to be honest I actually think that some or many on this site are bordering on clueless when they make the comments they do. A rear sway bar on a street/strip car is ridiculous and is 1000% not needed and anyone that thinks so maybe needs to leave the old car industry because they might be too scary for you and in reality THEY DO NOT HANDLE BAD WHATSOEVER WITHOUT ONE.I agree IF it's a 100% strip car.
I was agreeing with you that it's not needed on a strip only car.I disagree.....and to be honest I actually think that some or many on this site are bordering on clueless when they make the comments they do.

I know that, and when you read how he described his car you can only come up with 2 possibilities of what it is.....either a strip only car or a street/strip car and in my opinion a rear sway bar and a front sway bar too for that matter would be an absolute no.I was agreeing with you that it's not needed on a strip only car.

Yall all say no rear sway bar on the strip....and I agree 100%, but I have to add this tidbit. I've seen FIRST HAND a rear sway bar added that made one hook harder and speed up. Just once. We still advised the guy not to add it but he was dead set on it and did it anyway. It was a late 70s Z/28 whose rear suspension is not light years different than our Mopars.
So now we're going to shift direction to ARB'S (anti roll bars) ? It sure doesn't sound by the OP's vehicle description, albeit it limited, that he has a hard leaving, body twisting drag car and long before I would consider a ARB setup I think sub frame connectors should be installed.was wondering when someone would remember that a hard leaving, body twisting drag car can benefit from a sway bay bar , thats the reason they make them for drag cars , not everybody needs one tho , I dont !
