Default Removal of sway bars

Just wanted to see if anyone removed front sway bars on their c7z.. I'm in the process of a big procharger build.. my builder said with drag radials and being more of a straight line car they are not needed.. they mentioned they also can help the car sit better with weight transfer.. thoughts???

If that is all you are going to do is a 1/8 mile track r the 1/4 your guy is correct. But I sure wouldn't drive it on the street in curve's with out one in the front. You do have a small rim & tire on the front also.. If not don't take the bar off the car.. I am talking here 4 1/2 inch front rim max. Robert

Took the front sway bar off 1.5 years ago, do not even notice it gone for street driving. Goes nice and straight down the 1/4 mile also.

I personally would remove the front and keep the rear. Keeping the rear tires planted evenly via the rear bar.
