Think it'll be bad news if I just keep it in 4 till the end of the track? I dont wanna let off til its over.
Been brake standing to build boost and launching in 2wd behind my job to practice and it seems ok, think that'll be ok to do if I air down or is 4wd th way to go?

Thank you, I have the manual 4WD shifter on the floor so I'm not sure I wanna be messing with it going down the track. The last thing I need is to grenade the T-case.

I usually leave around 20-25 psi. With street tires I found that around 35-38 psi in the front and 30-32 psi in the rear worked well.

i leave at about 30 pounds of boost in 4 high and leave it in 4 high all the way through. i tried leaving in 2wd and just blowed the tires away at 10 pounds of boost. with no boost my truck breaks lose after it rolls out about 10 or 15 ft.

Yeah, I usually leave the line at 30psi boost. Put about 38psi in my tires, and leave it in 4hi the whole time. My truck isn't particularly fast, but crossing the line at 103mph I haven't had any tcase issues yet. I know other people that leave the tcase in up to nearly 130 and don't have issues. Thats in a 3rd gen though.
