Soo, the gist of what I've read is 4wd launching and then going 2wd as soon as you cam maintain traction and at wide open throttle is fine?
I'm still seeing a few saying I'll break something but the majority say its fine.
Thanks for the help guys!

And once I reach those power levels?
Just don't do it, or are there precautions I can take to avoid breaking things?
I ask simply because that's when it seems it would be the most useful.

Did it for quite a few runs in my truck when I was still NA. I think I did it a couple times with just the Procharger (maybe twice?). I just keep it in 4x4 for the whole pass now though. It had no problem switching out when it was NA, not sure I trust trying it now with all the mods.

I tried it without any issue. Once you switch from 4wd to 2wd, it will not disengage at WOT until the trans shift from 1-2 or whatever gear.
It does not hurt to leave it in 4wd all the way for the piece of mind.
If you have awd just leave it there. I thing it will auto disengage at certain speed. I know the full time awd vehicles do.

If you have awd just leave it there. I thing it will auto disengage at certain speed. Negative. NEVER drag race in Auto; 2HI or 4HI are safe, Auto is asking for fried clutches. It is not the same as the AWD cases I know the full time awd vehicles do.
