had a question i have a 4x4 hemi and a friend of mine has a 4x2 hemi. so in a 1320 drag what would the outcome be? would the awd in the 4x4 help it pull ahead? or is the 4x2 lighter and win? mods on both are axle back flowmasters.

 

4x2 should be a bit faster, since it has less drivetrain power loss (no transfer case, front diff)

 

yeah and you definantly dont want to put your truck in 4wd for a street race. putting it in 4 on dry pavement could cause you to puke up your transfer case. assuming yall both know how to drive he should win. of course you could always get a good jump or he could get a bad jump and the outcome might be different. i race my friends chevy all the time even though i havent won a race against him yet so just line em up and have fun with it.

 

i wasnt planning on putting it in 4 wheel drive.. my 04 ram has AWD 4H,4L, i dont have a 2x4 option.. so all in all, the 2 wheel drive will pull my truck..

i didnt know they made awd rams? or did you convert it yourself?

 

or is that full time 4wd?

 

i have never seen a ram with full time 4wd or awd. i think you're mixed up.....

 

yes its awd all the time. its a 2004 hemi w/ laramie pckge 4x4. you know the **** where you can switch to 4H or 4L..well mine has AWD 4H or 4L. theres no 2wheel drive option. can someone with a 2004 post pics of their electronic **** where you put it in 4wd.

 

maybe your the one thats mixex up..do ur research..i found this site http://www.allpar.com/model/ram/dodge/review-hemi.html and here is what is says..

 

you're correct about me being mixed up. I just did some research and found stuff on the awd. anyways, you would probably lose because his is lighter and has less power lost through the transfer case and all that.
