Default Viscous Center Differential

Anyone know where I can buy one that will hold up to 1,000 rwhp. It's going on a Chevy 1/2 ton with a turbocharged big block.

I have never even heard of one outside of high-end awd sports cars. Does anyone in the aftermarket make them?

Does anyone even make a non-viscous AWD trasfer case that will hold up to that level of power?

H2 transfer case is the same unit as the GM full sized line. In fact, most all of the drivetrain is GM. If I'm not mistaken, isn't Parish8 running a stock transfer case and he's at 1000hp.

Hummer plant is a big customer of mine. I was surprised to see how much they have in common with my Tahoe!

I think Parish8 is running low 10's. Is he running in 4 wheel drive when he's at the strip? I'm worried about the driveline on mine holding up.

Yep, I think most of the H2 chassis components and lots of parts in general are off the HD shelf GM products. It would be good to know that Parish is running the same transfer case because I'd stop worrying about mine! If he is running a Borg Warner 44-84 then they are the same.
