Uh no, unless you're launching the car sideways =].
Sway bars just reduce body roll, or lean, when cornering. Stiffer springs and struts might help launch by reducing weight transfer on a hard launch, and motor mounts can help in that regard too by reducing the twisting motion of the engine when the torque hits, but not sway bars. |

Besides the fact that it won't help, which you know and I'm not drilling you on, it's a Celica. I don't think launching is ever a problem with these things. You have to have power first, then you have launch problems.
