i never ran it all the way in 4h either i thought it takes more power to drive the front and rear diffs so i disengage it also and yea i thought about it not being good at 109mph in 4h although ive never tried going that fast in 4h i havent done it so i really cant say

Why would YOU have to worry about that?? 
To the OP, I think you'd be better off to use the 32 spline output shaft in your 80E, and swap the input gear of your t-case. Much stronger than running the 27 spline stuff. At your weight & power level, snapping an output shaft (27 spline) can be a reality. I've done it.....

i do it that way because i figured it takes more power to drive two diff's so i do it just for traction on launch. ive never tried going all the way in 4h. doing over 100+mph in 4h sounds like opening a whole other can of worms. however ive never tried it so i cant really say, but im sure someone here has and maybe they will chime in on that subject.

I keep mine in 4HI for the full pass and put it back in 2HI in the shutdown area before making a turn onto the return road. I run drag radials on all 4 corners and make sure I keep constant tabs on tire roll out and check them after every dozen of passes or so to make sure the circumfrunces are the same. I spend alot of time mounting/remounting and rotating tires.

I run my truck all the way through in 4wd. I have been 116mph through the 1/4 so far and it felt ok. I'm in southern VA now and all I have is 1/8th mile. I went 95mph in the 1/8th the other night and it felt better not to have the other 1/8th mile to worry about in 4wd. LOL
Stock48 went 142mph in his truck in 4wd. I don't think I would have the ***** to do that.
