With some sticky tires out back there would be no reason to use 4hi, but if your on streets 4hi it is

From what i hear you lose some power, but with your mods i dont see you hooking up in 2wd. Youll still run good times with 4hi though. What kinda numbers you put down?

Well the track is black top drug with slicks an prepped with vht or some kinda traction chemical. If your gana go 4hi drive around the wet box an when you do your launchs see what you comfortable launching at an how your truck responds to it. If your gana try 2wd gana required a big burnout an launch soft i still have had little success on street tires though

In 2wd id try just flashing the converter an see what happens. 4hi start off like 2k then bring it on up. From your mods list i think with a good hard launch trucks got 12s in it. With my old setup i went 13.1@104 with 3:23s an that was cam full ex an a 75shot. Havent been to the track with the 3:73s built tranny an asp u/d pulley.
