Any ideas will be appreciated.

Yes, straightening the car will help. All wasted motion going sideways and rolling the car over can be transferred to forward motion. You don't want to unnecesarily bind the suspension with body roll.

i'd think the improvement in consistancy alone would make it worth the investment. my car's much slower, and i want to put one in for that reason.

Yeah need more consistency. Have 9 runs on car here are the last 7 short times. 60 fts 1.503, 1.489, 1.516, 1.508, 1.520, 1.512, 1.501. 330s 4.317, 4.302, 4.33, 4.314, 4.327, 4.312, 4.311. 1/8 times are the following 6.705 @ 102.28, 6.696 @ 101.80, 6.708 @ 102.94, 6.688 @ 103.04, 6.700 @ 102.99, 6.680 @ 103.34, 6.687 @ 102.77. 1000' 8.795, 8.796, 8.786, 8.761, 8.773, 8.746, 8.760. may go with a bolt on like the bmr or spohn. Thanx for the advice guys.

Installed the Spohn drag anti roll sway bar. After minor adjustment the car no longer twists. Car is leaving level. No change in 60' but I am going red now using the trans brake. Footbrake .006 then on the brake it went -.013 , -.021.
