Transfer case is strong. Toss a coin with the tranny. Some don't even hold up to stock power if driven hard.

i will only use the transfer case if i have to. im more worried about the trans going. wonder how much a rebuild to handle 500 hp would be?

and i think i watched a vid of yours on you tube it was showing the entire build. very nice.
