You could just disconnect the end links rather than removing the whole sway bar.

That has nothing to do with the 2.82 gear. How's the prep? What's the tire pressure? What kind of burnout are you doing etc.. Guys with 2.82 hook well also, it's all in the prep and the tire pressure

255/50/16 Hoosier drag radial,this is the best setup bar none ,stay away from the qtp as it usually lowers mph but will hook pretty good
