On stock sway bars the car would understeer and push through the turns -tires would be squealing like pigs. Not only that but the car by no accident had less roll in the front, increasing confidence in the vehicle.

Again, my personal experience.
My personal experience turns 1:54's on the Daytona Road Course in a pre 991 Cup car. The idea that a front bar will loosen a cars handling is just pure nonsense.

I've been setting up racecars and cars for the track for nearly 25 years now.

You need to go buy the book "The Art & Science of Racecar Development & Tuning" by Carroll Smith and read it cover to cover a couple times, paying close attention to Chapter 6.

While you may think you feel something, your butt does not get to re-write the laws of physics. Front bars with higher rates add understeer, full stop.
