There is no side to side movement in a drag race, so sway bars are worthless.
Stiffer springs or stiffer shock settings in the back would make more sense than raising it. Not only will it mess with the toe like CivicSiRacer said, but it won't do anything to prevent the weight from being shifted back onto the soft rear suspension.
