I have everything pretty much stock suspension-wise on my car. I have new Ford shocks on the front with the stock sway bar. How much would it help for me to remove this before I went to the track? I won't be driving it around at all without it on, just at the track so that's not a problem because we're hauling it on a trailor. I have no sway bar in the rear and I have KYB gas-a-just shocks in the rear with shock extensions. We are replacing the old leaf springs with new ones when we replace the rear end. I was figuring my track weight to be about 3250 also, with me in the car. I weigh about 150 pounds right now, by the time I go to the track I may weigh 20 pounds more because of my track/football program I'm on right now. Is that about right? I will have it weighed at the dump before I go just to know. I think that's all for right now. Thanks again man.

Since 3.89s are too much would 3.70s be low enough? Or should I just go down to 3.55s?
