Default 4x4 launch

Hey guys I'm gunna be takin my truck to the track soon. I'm just wondering what a good boost psi is good to launch at with a stock input and in 4 wheel. Is it safe to run in 4 wheel all the way down the track?? Thanks y'all

10psi tops.

Yes. Just shift out of 4wd before you turn off the track.

I never went above 4psi but I'm sure you can go a little higher but not for too long.

I did a 10psi in 2wd and snapped the shaft shifting into second (first time I broke it)...I wouldn't do it w/o a billett input/flexplate combo, especially at a track...VHT is mighty sticky!
