removing front sway bar

How much gain is there from this on F1's. Is it a noticable amount?

I haven't done it but it will allow for quicker/better weight transfer to the rear tires plus it removes some weight too. Some guys just disconnect the ends and tie-wrap it up out of the way.

Cool

Get a set of traction bars. I couldn't tell any difference after installing traction bars. My 60' was no better and neither was my ET. I did notice the steering felt sloppy and there was a little more body roll. I ran it 3 different times at the track. I had mine off for 2 weeks and couldn't wait to get it back on. I was busy at the time or it would have never stayed off 2 weeks.

If you don't have traction bars maybe you will see some results. Just be prepared for some sloppy steering and handling on the street. The front tires felt bouncier over bumps too.
