swaybars are made to make your car turn better its not going to do anything off the line.check you shocks try to get harder shock springs and some 30 or 40 wt oil.and you also need foam tires.

RE: 4-tec swing at straight line
I am a rookie but I can tell you I installed the sway bars the second time I ran it and it improved. I had a rock lodge into my rear belt and strip it out and I replaced it and didn't reinstall the rear sway bar and I ran it and had it slipping on me, I am not sure do to the power the shocks can't handle it and it sways and the bar stablizes it or what but I know some on here say the sway bar is for cornering, it has helped my 4 tec stay straight can't beat or at least try it for the price, doesn't work at least you can say you have them. Good Luck
