Default a few awd ?'s lowering? 14 bolt?cal tracs?

ok going to put together my awd rcsb starting with LY6 6.0 4l80e and a 149 transfer case from Time2kill and I have a few questions
- how low can I go and still put a good amount of HP through it considering boosting it after its street worthy
- is a 14 bolt overkill with awd?
- is it a bad idea to run stock 4x4 front diff locked with 149 t case
- and is there a need for cal tracs at all?
thanks in advance building this truck from ground up and want to do it right the first time

Chase still has the 10 bolt in his SSS and he laid down around 1000HP with the twins.

Last time I saw it was in 2013 when he blew up the new engine at the Truckin Throwdown Event. Not sure what he has done with it since...

I can't remember who else is AWD right now.

I think the locked 4x4 front diff is basically how an AWD front diff works any way.

There similar and use alot of the same parts. I believe the AWD is basically a full time locked front diff.
