Forced induction with a 4wd regular cab.....nothing will touch you on the street, and they'd have a hell of a time at the track. Tons of potential.

My next street/strip build will be a RCSB 4WD, no doubt about it. Take Smokeshow's build thread, for example. TRACTION, TRACTION, TRACTION. The launch alone is worth it, with no dialing in suspension on all-out slicks.

Launching at 10psi on the street without a peep from the tires is something else

Going to have to say push button 4x4. I know with the mild bolt on's I have right now launching in 4x4 from a stop light is a blast and most people don't expect you to leave so hard. I can't wait to see how much fun it will be after the Procharger is installed.

Plus it's nice to kick it back in to 2wd when just putting around or wanting to do a nice smokey burnout or cruising down the hwy at 75MPH

I have a hard time launching in 4x4 at 9 psi, thinking about 4 drag radials.

For the OP, here's my thoughts.

There's nothing like having 2 or 4 wheel drive at the touch of a button. Say you're just driving along minding your own business. Some clown in a Mustang wants to play, so you show him what's up by doing a loud smoky rolling burnout at 40 mph.

Then a couple minutes later you end up right next to him at a red light, and notice DR's on his car, and he's got full gauges. Obviously not stock..... Hit the 4x4 switch, and smoke him, with the traction of a 4x4!
