about the AWD tranzfer case. is it alot lighter? will the AWD hold under alot of power? i have heard 4low is good for a tenth or so in the 1/8mile, also heard that the auto4wd wont hold with alot of power, it will let you smoke the back wheels(NOS out of the hole). on a 4wd truck with auto4wd the quickest et is in auto4wd untill you have too much power then 4high is the way to go. will the AWD hold more than the auto4wd?</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, I wasn't aware that it was EVER okay to use 4LOW in anything other than off-road.
As for AWD, it likes to maintain a 38/62 traction split on dry pavement, with more traction going to the rear. The AWD transfer case has a viscous coupling so the more an axle slips, more power is routed to the axle with traction. I don't know how much power it will hold, but they use the AWD transfer case in the 6.0L 325HP Sierra Denali (and its predecessor the Sierra C3). You cannot get a standard 4x4 t-case in that truck. The AWD t-case is also the only t-case available in the Cadillac Escalade which has the 345HP 6.0L HO.
I have no idea if it's lighter, but the Turbo GMC Syclones and Typhoons were AWD with viscous coupling, and I believe they are among some of the fastest street trucks around.
