Ok Ive been looking through some other threads about drag racing in 4WD and whether to leave it in 4WD the whole 1/4 or to try and take it out. Most of you said to leave it in till the end cuz it won't come out until you let off anyways. My question though is whether or not its good for the truck to be going those speeds in 4WD. From what Ive heard some trucks shouldn't go above 55-70 while in 4WD. Tell me what you all think cuz I plan on racing my Cummins when I move back to Denver
 
Theres alotttt of trucks going well over 115mph in the quarter in 4wd. Hammer down and hang on, bump it out when you go through the trap.
 
As long as its going in a relatively straight line, it's gonna be ok. Now, going 55 in 4wd and taking a corner is more destructive than 115 in a straight line.

25psi launches in 4x4 isn't "good for it" either lol. You'll be fine man
 
Leave it in 4wd, Diesels are slow! They'll never see anything that fast...
 
It won't release out of 4x4 until the load is off the transfer case anyway so switching it out is wasting time and concentration.
 
Switch it in and out of 4wd before it shifts into each gear so it doesn't damage the tcase...
 
If you don't need it in 4x4 all the way down the track, you're not making enough hp. LOL

Leave it in, you'll be fine.

Uh just a little info to consider. Nothing about drag racing is GOOD for your truck. You play you pay its not about if your going to break something its when. You can shift out of 4wd if it makes you feel better.

That talk is from 10-15 years ago.

How old are these threads?

This subject has been hashed over a 100 times and thought this is a dead topic.
