ive heard that a sway bar can actually slow a car down in a drag race cause it dosent let the suspension react as quick. i realize that it probably dosent matter for most of us but has anyone unhooked theirs in a drag race and did it make a diff?

I think the only way it would slow a car down is if it lets the rear tires spin (or spin more than they already do). Otherwise, it should have no effect.
