q's about using a rear sway bar when drag racing??????

i was wonderring how much bar it actually takes to keep the car level under launch?
i am reworking my suspension set up and i am gonna be pulling 1.75ish 60's. i have 3 bars lying around the garage that i can use, but i am not completely sure what i need.
i have a stock RS sway bar=19mm hollow(little)
a stock WS6 bar=25mm hollow(medium)
and a suspension techniques 24mm solid(very big)

anyone have a clue? if all else fails i am just gonna run the huge bar, but if you guys can help me i would like to keep the weight off the car if i can.

thanks
tim

which one have you been running?

you might want to think about running one air shock on the right side and just the litte sway bar, that way you can adjust it at your leisure

PS air shocks are cheap, just another plus
