Default 4wd question...

correct me if im wrong but ok, if a awd vehicle was dynoed at 300awtq would that be like 150tq to each axle? and if you wanted 300tq to each axel you would need 600awtq right? so that in our vehicles should be enough to peel the tires, so would you peel all 4tires or not?

i might be wrong but if i rember right on 4wd vehicles, on wheels that are slipping the computer transfers the a chunk of power to the other wheels so the slipping wheels can regain traction right? just a random question, thanks.

well i think a 6.4 hemi with twin turbo's or a s/c and of course updated internals should make it no problem lol.

rofl, ya but i think in the end, having a 600awtq durango would be SHWEET! expecially getting a base model with stripped and carbon fiber/aluminum/fiberglass/plastic everything but in stock looking form, ya it defintly would be worth it

in AWD you have the correct theory, the t-case is supposed to split the power to the front and rear axle, it is usually a 60/40 split tho, not a 50/50, i personally prefer a 4x4 for a couple reasons

1) you are not turning all the extra mass when you dont need the extra traction
2) the front and rear axles are LOCKED together when you engage the 4wd allowing for better traction

In theory if you have a 2002 R/T or AWD Transfer Case and electrical systems then it is a 50/50, however there is a coupling inside the AWD case that can allow power to be switched to only the front wheels or only the back wheels as well as 50/50 or otherwise as seen fit.

So to correct your thinking you would have to have a 4WD LOCKED case at 50/50 to get both to spin at the same power and revolutions but with this thinking you would not be able to turn on dry asphalt.

You best bet is stay with a AWD with that engine though.
