Right now the bar are level to the ground.
I was wondering how moving the bars would effect the car.
If the track is so-so would moving the bars up or down help the car to hook better. If i want the car to pick the front tires up more would i move the bars up or down.
I have heard conflicting advise on this and was hoping for some good advise.

At the risk of oversimplification, lowering the bars in effect "lengthens" them and tries to lift the car further forward if you will. The car will try to transfer more weight but it will "hit" slower. If the bars are already parallel to the ground I would be inclined to look at other suspension components to aid the launch such as shock settings front and rear.
Others may well disagree, your mileage may vary...
