The suspension travels further and more freely giving you better weight transfer (IE front rises putting more weight on the rear)

When you dial that car in you should be cutting some 1.4x 60' times. Remove the front sway bar, be consistent with your burnouts (how long), line up in the groove, and figure out your launch technique (build a little boost at the line).
Thank you for your help, i do appreciate it.

I did not remove the front sway bar, but i will next time. I did make sure i was in the grove and was consistent with my burnouts. I think i may hold of on the boost at the line, just do i don't break anything.

My last two passes i was launching above 7k somwhere and it was bogging, so its definitely hooking up. I may try it straight off the 8k rev limiter next time.

Interesting, I thought the front sway bars where for chassis roll side to side not to stop the front from raising? I'm probably way off though?

The sway bar is mounted on body frame rail and connects to the suspension witch will limit travel but is to prevent body role. Just unbolt it from suspension if you must then you can reatach it for the street.
