Cool Welding in subframes and removing front sway bar . What should I run??

Right now I am running a 14.79 @93 @3000ft.I have subframes on the way and I am removing my front sway bar.

Right now my 60ft is 2.00. If I pick up any E.T. it should be in the first 60ft (I think) I have had people tell me that subframes make a night and day difference and I have had people tell me that subframes didnt help them at all.

I for sure have a traction problem for the first 70ft I have to baby the car or it goes up in smoke.

I am hoping for a 14.55 or so.

I think those 2 mods would drop you to 14.78. j/k. 2 tenths I think is a stretch, but far from impossible. Is that 2.0 60' time on streets rubber, dr's, or slicks? If it's on streets you don't have a traction problem at all.

I run that 60 ft on nitto drag radials. I leave at an idle and gradualy give it gas.
I would like to be able to dump it 2500 rpm's or so and see what she will do.

14.78 If I run that while beating a camaro I will be happy.

I tossed my swaybar and went 1.9 only once, usually in the 2.0 range, but ran on tires in my sig, just radials, and small ones, i have no subframe connctrs, but are coming soon.

your right, the improvement comes in the first 60' if you can get your rpms up just enough to almost spin, but bogg a little, your in for at least 2 tenths improvement.
