Sway bar and exhaust.

So I have a few ?'s.
I Installed a 1 1/8" rear sway bar on my L-BOX '68 Its lowered 4" Will this help me plant a better foot print and improve my 60' ?

? #2 I'm running 1 3/4" tube headers and 2 1/2" exh. with a x pipe and delta Flow flowmasters, ran all the way out to the rear bumper.
My 406sbc put out 608 Hp and 550TQ @ the fly wheel. When is it a good Idea to step up to 3" exh?

Thanks

Re: Sway bar and exhaust.

You are in need of 3" already maybe 3.5, depending on flow. Sway bar will act like an anti roll to a degree.
