Rear sway bar not needed?, for a six in particular... Options

I was reading the article in excellence about the Max Moritz GT car, and apparently they disconnected the rear sway bar and it handled alot better. Would this be true on a mostly street car (914/6)?

I'm running a stock rear bar and 22mm sway bar up front.
There's a corner on the way home that goes up and down in the corner.
Without the rear sway bar when you go up and then down the weight is lifted off the rear wheels and the car would spin out.
With the rear sway bar it prevents the rear from lifting up in the corner and the car no longer spins out.
I think a six with the extra weight is better with a rear sway bar for the street.
I'm also running a 3.2 which is heavier than the earlier magnesium motors.
Most of the 914-6 cars on the track I noticed do not use a rear sway bar.
