0-60 Time

Cept, AWD, vehicles in the racing circuit are not running a 50/50 split unless Rally. Most pavement cars are running a 30/70-20/80 split. Enough to allow the power to get to the ground, but not to much to push understeer. Just see GTR vs Vette in the nurburg trials.

Either way it is 4H as in 4 HIGH, not H4 . Secondly, why exactly do you have a boner to get a lower 0-60 time in a double cab 4wd taco? It's not a performance driven car, its a truck.

yes.. you can launch in 4HI. Super Werty (who I was hangin out with last weekend) said that is what he does on the 1/4 mile, then switches out of 4HI in 2nd gear, around 75.

btw OP, I have the same setup as you, and if you want to shave off even more time, and have your acceleration be even quicker, invest in the IPT Valve Body upgrade.

it shaved nearly a full second off Werty's 1/4 mile time. Now, it is in my truck and let me tell you.. it makes a vast improvement. I have some before and after videos in my build.

Yup.

It's all about power to the ground.
If the engine puts out 400hp and the rear suspension can put that to the ground without smoking the tires, then ya... 2wd launch is sufficient.

If the suspension can only put 300hp to the ground without smoking the tires, then a 4wd launch will get it all to the ground and the extra power will make up for the parasitic losses in the driveline.

Dragsters and other dedicated racing vehicles are purpose-built to get everything to the ground as efficiently as possible, while keeping the vehicle as light as possible... but dragsters and F1 cars are not daily drivers that came off of a production line.
In a race car, the race can be won or lost by the weight of the driver's breakfast.

Never said I haven. Granted my truck is well more suited for 0-60 times then yours. I will actually post up times when I get around to the URD s/c.
